Aha, darum diese Diskrepanz zwischen Anzahl Stimmen und Anzahl Sitzen:
„[…] Under the first-past-the-post system used in UK general elections, the person with the most votes in each constituency becomes the MP and candidates from other parties get nothing. […]“
Das #FPTP-System ("first-past-the-post").

What is the first-past-the-post voting system and how does it work?
How does the first-past-the-post system work, and what are its pros and cons?Chas Geiger (BBC News)
Obligatory PR post
Votes per MP (back of an envelope)
Labour 23,500
Lib dem 49,000
Conservative 56,800
Green 475,000
Reform 1,000,000
So each reform MP represents 40 times as many voters as a Labour MP.
I don't want more reform MPs but you do that by making people's lives better not by ignoring their voice.
I'm frankly amazed and cheered that the Green party achieved 4 seats, and almost 2 million people voted for them.
These are not protest votes in the way Reform votes have been either but genuine conscience voting choices.
Still, that Greens and Reform get 4 seats each, given Reform had twice as many votes and, more telling, as do Plaid and DUP with less than a tenth of the green voters numbers, is telling when it comes to #FPTP.
Imagine what they could do in a #dhondtPR system?

The Israel lobby is truly disgusting.
Tanushka Marah is the British Palestinian independent candidate in Hove.
As well as being refused entry to the Jewish hustings, activists - mostly men - stood outside a women of colour literary event last week with printed placards of her name and words including RAPE and BEHEADING.
Today her electoral materials were stolen and the office vandalised.

Keir Starmer: Trans women 'don't have right' to use women-only spaces
“…the Labour leader was asked about a question posed by prominent gender critical campaigner and author JK Rowling…
'Do biological males with gender recognition certificates have the right to enter women-only spaces? It’s a simple yes/no question.’
…Starmer said: ‘No. They don’t have that right. They shouldn’t.’”

Why don't any of the political parties with the power to do it want to fix the UK's broken democracy?
It suits them just fine as it is.

Sub 100 seats for this lot 😂🤣 (and definitely worth a watch ...)
"The chairman of the Tory Party has abruptly ended an interview with Sky News after he refused to answer questions on his chicken run to a seat in the South.
Richard Holden was asked why he claimed to be "bloody loyal to the North East" before switching to a constituency in Essex. After repeatedly failing to answer the question, a Conservative press officer interrupted to say the interview would be terminated"

#Sunak ‘will extend child benefit to wealthier families
So at an estimated cost of £1.5Bn the threshold for #childBenefit will be extended to £120,00 a year.
They really are taking the piss here. #FoodBank usage the highest it has ever been, the #NHS on its knees, #schools in crisis and now this.
Apparently it will be paid for by cracking down on #TaxAvoidance. What #cretin thought this gem up? They *really* want to lose.
