  1. The following are examples of votes in 5 constituencies, and in no way meant to be realistic! Each time a %number is in bold, it indicates that an MP is awarded to that party, and 33% points are then deducted from that figure ...if sufficient votes remain they may also gain the next MP awarded...if not, remaining votes go to the ‘nation- wideMPs pool’. For simplicity, in examples, there are 100,000 votes cast in each constituency. Unused votes are noted, but not used in calculations. 3x 33% shares =99%, so 1% of vote will carry over to the ‘pool’. Votes needed for automatic MP= 33%=33,000 Minimum vote required for MP =15%=15,000 Votes <15% ..<15,000 go to national ‘pool automatically . Votes over may also..
