Despite winning a huge majority, Labour’s share of the popular vote is the lowest ever by a party to win a majority in British history.
Labour received 34 percent of the national vote, which translated to 64 percent of the seats in parliament.
Starmer’s 34 percent is only marginally better than the 32 percent former leftwing leader Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour managed in the last election. In terms of raw votes, Labour received less support than it did in 2019 (9.7m votes vs 10.2m votes).
Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has been reelected as an MP, winning almost 50 percent of the vote in Islington North, the London constituency he has represented for more than four decades after standing as an independent.
