Eastleigh ranks 216 out of 650 constituencies in the UK

32,502 voters couldn't help their preferred party in Eastleigh in 2019:

  • 23,861 people did not vote for the winning candidate. Under a proportional system, these votes could have helped their preferred party in another constituency.
  • The winning Conservative candidate only needed 17,070 votes to beat the second-placed Liberal Democrat candidate. Under a proportional system the 8,641 surplus votes they received could have been used to help Conservative candidates in other constituencies.

It doesn't have to be like this

Under a proportional electoral system, every vote can count. There are many systems available and they are widely used in other countries, in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. They're even used for internal elections in the House of Commons. So why can't every vote count when we elect MPs?
