4. the Tories are going to get close to 326

and will have a much easier time forming a coalition.

The differences between Labour and Liberal Democrats will split their votes enough to allow the Tories to take it.

6. Ah well...

My English in-laws enjoy their benefits. They just hate immigrants a little bit more.

So there you go.

2. The way I read it, the right's won 70% of the vote...

Labour, Tory, BNP, UKIP, NI Unionists...

[WeDidIt]

7. Nope, yoiu add all the rightists up, it's still less than 40%

Labour and the Lib Dems have taken a majority of the votes, yet the Tories will have almost a majority of the seats.

8. How does that work, then?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

9. It depends if you count Labour as "right"

[WeDidIt]

10. I don't

Tories and to the right of Tories is the Right in the UK.

11. In each constituency, whatver party has the most votes wins.

so Labour and Lib Dems have 50.3% of the vote combined, Tories win.
