@pwaring while #Labour deserve a good slap in the face for being red Tories, but voting for #Reform will only make things worse not better.

I see the #GreenParty have picked up lots of votes but virtually no new seats because the voting system punishes anyone not No 1 or 2 in the seat. Coming a good third doesn't help you.

The #LibDem have picked up more seats than the Green party so far.

My old county has swapped Tories for Reform, so no real change there.

Finally an election graphic that is more confusing than the #LibDem dodgy bar charts. I think this is implying that if you don't vote Green then Reform will pick up the last of the proportionally distributed seats for the #Senedd. I don't think PR works that way.
