Constituencies where the winner got more than 50% of the vote (not to be confused with electorate). Only 96 MPs got more than 50%.

@slowe In the UK it is the FPTP system that delivers a majority of seats in parliament, not the people's votes.

@villavelius You seem to be telling me what we all know. Perhaps you decided I don't know and you feel compelled to inform me as if I'm stupid. Perhaps you are annoyed that I'd even consider visualising things like this. Whatever the reason, this is classic "reply guy" behaviour. Perhaps don't.

@slowe It's an artefact of Mastodon that boosting a post with a comment looks like a reply, as the option of adding a comment to a boost without using the reply button does not exist as far as I know. I'm sorry if you are offended by that.

@slowe If there is such an option, please enlighten me.

@villavelius "offended", no. Fed up of reply guys, yes. Fed up of reply guys basically saying "this is just how the tech works". You are a person. You choose what to do. And you know it is a reply to me even if, in your head, you are using it for something different.
