There is a very funny picture available of Maggie Simpson next to the election map. Pretty accurate with the colors. That being said, I am wondering how the SNP has so many seats when their area has only 4.8 percent of the vote. Maybe their ‘gerrymandering’ long ago gave Scotland more seats to keep them in the fold?
Speaking of UK bellwethers, here’s an interesting factoid:
Bellwether Seats
Reading West and Thanet South maintained their 100% records of siding with every election winner - or biggest party - since their creation in 1983. Bristol North West’s string of success goes back further, to 1974, the same as that of Loughborough and Watford. But Dartford, maintaining its unofficial title as Britain’s best bellwether constituency, resoundingly voted in favour of the Conservatives to keep up its unbroken run since 1964.
Scottish Nationalists won 56 of 650 seats, or 8% of the UK Parliament, which is the same as the Scots percentage of the UK population.
