Official Party (UK version)


Out of curiosity, if the UK adopted the Official Party rule which Parties would have official status? These are all the Parties that got at least 1% of the vote in the last 3 elections. Votes are in the millions and is the total of the votes received in the last 3 general elections in 2017, 2019, and 2024.

In all of the last 3 general elections the Conservatives, Labour, and the Liberal Democrats got 5% of the vote. The Green Party only got 5% in the last election. UKIP/Reform got 5% in the last election, also in 2015, but not in the 2 elections in between.

Prior to the 2024 election the UK would have had 4 Official Parties; Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, and UKIP. After this last election the Green party would have official status as well bringing the total up to 5 Official Parties.

Percentages


If you took the percentage each Party got in every province and added it up, divided by 10, what would you get? The average provincial popular vote and how would this compare to the national popular vote? Take a look and I was very surprised by the result.
