In short: the parties’ total number of votes per constituency are divided by 1.2 in the first round of counting and the first seat gets allocated to whichever party has the highest quotient. In the next round they’re divided by 3, then 5, then 7 and so on. Only parties that have won more than four percent of the vote nationwide (or at least 12 percent of the vote in a specific constituency, although this is unlikely to happen) get counted.

They keep going like this until 310 so-called fixed seats have been allocated. Thirty-nine levelling seats remain and are then allocated to ensure that the parties are proportionally represented.

Then a mouse is lowered in front of a cat on a treadmill which turns a bingo cage to pick the remaining 24 members. The 25th selection is the most moderate of the leftover candidates who will occupy the parliamentary "free space".

No fair. Unless their calculations include hyperbolic cosines and some transcendental functions, I say no deal.

I thought Abba picked the 25th selection. That's the name of the game.
