UK: Illegitimate Minority Regime Takes Power

The distortions of “democracy” have reached what might be an all-time apogee with the 2024 General Election in the UK. That election, which, if one were to believe the general media, resulted in an “overwhelming victory” for the UK Labour Party and ensured a super majority for that party in the Houses of Parliament.

 Yet, in fact, the direct opposite is true: the Labour Party polled an ABSOLUTE MINORITY of the votes.

 The actual results of the election showed that 66.3% of the voters, voted directly AGAINST the Labour Party, and only 33.7% of the voters actually voted for Keir Starmer’s’ party.

 The actual results of the 2024 UK election are as follows:

 

Labour Party:

Votes: 9,704,655 (33.7% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 411 (63.2% of the seats)

 

Conservative Party

Votes: 6,827,311 (23.7% of votes cast)

Members of Parliament: 121 (18.6% of the seats)

 

Liberal Democrats

Votes: 3,519,199 (12.2% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 72 (11.1% of the seats)

 

Scottish National Party

Votes: 724,758 (2.5% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 9 (1.4% of the seats)

 

Sinn Féin

Votes: 10,891 (0.7% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 7 (1.1% of the seats)

 

Independent

Votes: 564,243 (2.0% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 6 (0.9% of the seats)

 

Reform UK

Votes: 4,117,221 (14.3% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 5 (0.8% of the seats)

 

Democratic Unionist Party

Votes: 172,058 (0.6% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 5 (0.8% of the seats)

 

Green Party of England and Wales

Votes: 1,841,888 (6.4% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 4 (0.6% of the seats)

 

Plaid Cymru

Votes: 194,811 (0.7% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 4 (0.6% of the seats)

 

Social Democratic and Labour Party

Votes: 86,861 (0.3% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 2 (0.3% of the seats)

 

Alliance Party of Northern Ireland

Votes: 117,191 (0.4% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 1 (0.2% of the seats)

 

Ulster Unionist Party

Votes: 94,779 (0.3% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 1 (0.2% of the seats)

 

Traditional Unionist Voice

Votes: 48,685 (0.2% of votes cast).

Members of Parliament: 1 (0.2% of the seats)

 

 The discrepancy between the number of votes cast and the parliamentary seats won—evident in the case of the Labour Party, the Conservative Party, and the Reform UK parties in particular—is the result of the utterly decrepit “first past the post” parliamentary system, where the party that gains the single largest vote—even if it is only 1 vote more than the second-placed party—wins the seat, regardless of how many votes were cast against it.

 In this way, for example, the Labour Party won most of its seats with an absolute minority of votes, with most voters casting votes directly against that party.

 There can be no doubt that if the UK were actually a “democracy”—that is, if it had a system of Proportional Representation (where each party is allocated seats according to actual votes)—then there would not be a Labour Party government in power in 2024.

 The bottom line, however, is that the 2024 Labour Party government is an illegitimate minority regime, propelled into power by the distortions of the “democratic system.”

 It is also an indication of the moral –or, more accurately put—immoral nature of the “democratic” politicians and the Labour Party in particular that they blithely go along with his charade, knowing full well that three-quarters of the country specifically voted against them.

 Add, therefore, “immoral” to the description above: the 2024 Labour Party government is an illegitimate, immoral, minority regime, propelled into power by the distortions of the “democratic system.”
