Interesting as in the UK the skew massively favours Labour who get disproportionately more seats per percentage vote.

Look back through recent elections and compare the percentages of Tory votes and seats to Labour votes and seats.

We will see.

Indeed. Here's your source

Meanwhile, even Fox News shows that 0.67 million voters preferred Clinton.

Ignoring the most recent one? Thanks, I decline the offer.

Basically the higher the vote regardless of the party the better they generally do, since Labour won most of the recent elections then you can paint a picture of Labour being favoured.

Now it's the other way round with the Conservatives winning the elections so they're now doing proportionally better.

If your conclusion is that the current system favours Labour, that is incorrect, it simply favours the party with the most votes.

Did you not get the memo? We get our truths from Twitter now. If there was a relationship historically, it broke down in 2015.

But if you want to go get the numbers and post the truth, uncomfortable or otherwise, feel free.

I posted something from twitter that said that Trump won the popular vote. Unlike you and your liberal left establishment I don't post "truths".
