Its is worth remembering that these MPs won under FPTP, but under AV a candidate needs more than 50% of the vote to win - so many (if not all) would have gone to further rounds of counting - and it could well be that a different candidate was more popular than them.
I say 'if not all' because even those with more than 50% may have benefited from 'tactical voting' where they got votes from people who didn't really support them but wanted to help make sure that a different candidate didn't win - so had the vote been under AV where people can honestly state their real preferences even those results could have been different (if it more accurately representing the views of the voters).

Hmm. Can't see you have much of a case here, they seem to be a fairly representative sample of all MPs in terms of vote share and putting them in order of vote share is just slightly misleading.
ReplyDeleteA more interesting point is, has a single MP from any other party joined the No camp yet? Either way something could be said on that.
