Great to see the UK leading

[lardy]

It is equally baffling why the Tories voted Johnson as Leader, why the Labour Party voted for Corbyn (and now Starmer) and in the USA why the public voted for Trump. There is something odd going on in political parties as to why they vote for such unsuitable leaders.

As for the voting system I think if you look back in history more people voted for the Tories than Labour even when Labour won elections. It's the system.

Just scrolled through Wikipedia to see if it's true, and it was the case in Feb 74 and 1929, but not for any others.

In 1951 labour got more of the vote but the Tories won.

You omitted 2005.

You omitted 2005.

Probably because Labour had just short of a million votes more than the Conservatives.
