Eh, the last time any single party got the majority of the popular vote was the 1931 general election — and then a coalition National Government was formed regardless. The last time the Government got the majority of the popular vote was 2010, and before that Churchill's wartime coalition. The Tories got a larger proportion of the total vote than Labour did in 2005 (35.2%), and I don't remember hearing much uproar about that.
