Charting how UK election results from 1918 to the present day would have changed if seats were decided by who got the most votes at a regional level, like the US electoral college. "It’s all a bit weird, if mostly harmless"

A similar map to the first, except each county is coloured by the party that came first in votes. It doesn't dramatically change the overall job, but it means that Labour holds on in Durham, Inverclyde and Renfrewshire, Dyfed, and Fife, as well as Morgannwg. In addition, Highlands and Islands and Clwyd are coloured light blue to indicate the Liberal Nationals leading there. Everything else is the same

Thought I'd add this for people who don't want to parse through the breakdowns, the largest individual party in each county

Comes to

Conservative: 552
Liberal National: 10

Labour: 46 (coincidentally identical to their actual result)

Independent Liberal: 4
Nationalist: 3

National GAIN from Labour

As with 1924, this feels more like the product of three Labour seats being uncontested than a genuine shift. Not quite sure why other parties only seem to fight Labour in those seats when Labour is competitive nationally
