    Anyone got that link that recalculates the results of the GE by different voting systems? For example if we had a form of PR how would this election turned out? I swear it was posted here a few days ago.

      Given, many systems require more than just marking one box. While, even those that do not, would drastically change how people choose their vote.

      I am unsure any such site can give a realistic result from available data?

      Edit:

      If we just assume proportional based on % of vote yesterday.

      Tor 22.9% Lab 35.2% LDe 11.3% Ref 14.5% SNP 2.5% Oth 13.6%

      It is bloody hard to see how either party could form a viable 50% Lab LD SNP and a few independents would take it over 50. But honestly, it is hard to imagine that working with the politicians voted yesterday. Tory Ref would need all independents. So less likely to work.

      But as I said. Voters would go to the polls with very different ideas about how to vote.
