#prvoting — Public Fediverse posts

Fun fact about the '3 landslide victories' that Margaret Thatcher got - in all 3, the Tories never even got a majority of votes:

•1979: 43.9% of votes but 53.4% of seats
•1983: 42.4% of votes but 61.1% of seats
•1987: 42.2% of votes but 58% of seats

We can't change the past but can change the future. The UK needs PR voting now!
