- planetguy 14y agoSo the "constituency" map has no actual electoral meaning?
- demetris 14y agoCorrect. In fact, because the allocation of parliament seats is calculated on the basis of the total vote and because of the adjustments that this entails for the allocation of constituency seats, you can be the first party in a constituency and yet get fewer seats in that constituency than the second party.
