This feed publishes recounts of divisions in the UK House of Commons, using a method that counts every vote in the last General Election.

The result shows us how distorted the Commons is, due to the First Past the Post electoral system (#FPTP).

Today marks one year since the 2024 General Election.

Of the 252 divisions held since, 120 would have changed result if seats matched votes.

That is, ~48% of the time, opposition MPs represented more voters, but the government won anyway 🤷‍♀️

See 🧵 for examples.
