About this election
How the vote works
The election was the first fought on new constituency boundaries but still under first-past-the-post, with 650 single-member seats. The system magnified Labour's lead enormously: a modest national vote share, very efficiently distributed, translated into a huge seat majority, while Reform UK's 4.1 million votes — spread thinly across the country — returned only a handful of MPs.
