Labour gets 34% of vote, 2024 -
Landslide victory, many seats
Labour gets 32% of vote, 2019 -
Landslide defeat, few seats
Biggest difference: in 2024, right-wing vote split
2024: Con 24% + Reform 14% = 38%
2019: Con 44% + Brexit party 2% = 46%
& more quiet alliance/tactical voting by Labour & LD?
Who picked up vote share lost by Con + Reform? Party numbers don't fully add up. Some some independent MPs, did well, but I don't have vote share numbers
Lib Dems also pick up many seats with little change in vote share. Labour & LD seem to have had a quiet agreement not to fight the same seats. Not sure if they did in 2019
