New analysis shows how UK seats would shift under PR
New analysis reveals how different voting systems would significantly change seat totals in the UK parliament based on current polling. Under proportional representation, smaller parties like the Green Party and Reform UK would gain more seats, while Labour would still be the largest party but with fewer seats. Proportional representation would likely force larger parties to form coalitions with smaller ones to achieve a majority.
