Biggest-ever gap between number of votes and MPs hits Reform and Greens

The gap between the share of total votes won by the winning party in the 2024 general election and the share of Parliamentary seats won is the largest on record, BBC Verify has found.

This disparity has prompted renewed calls for reform of the electoral system, with Richard Tice of Reform UK complaining on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Friday of the “injustice” that his party had received millions of votes but only five seats in Parliament.

The Green Party’s co-leader Adrian Ramsay said he wanted to see a “fairer system” to ensure that “every vote counts equally”.

The Electoral Reform Society claimed it was “the most disproportional in British electoral history”.

Turns out that, despite the fear mongering:

- Proportional Representation elected governments last longer
- Citizens are more engaged and happier with the election result
