DUP got 292,316UKIP are hardly dead. They're just not properly represented becasue of our bad system.
DUP and SNP and very over represented!
But the DUP and SNP were only standing in a fraction of the constituencies (18 and 59 respectively).
It'd be much better to compare votes per constituency to seats.
DUP got 292316/18 = 16239 votes per constituency for 10
SNP got 977568/59 = 16568 votes per constituency
UKIP got 593852 votes in 375 (I think) constituencies = 1583 votes per constituencyBe interesting to see the figures for all of the parties (Tory, Labour, Lib Dem, PC, Green, etc) but I don't have the data on the number of constituencies they had candidates in.
If someone can point me to a dataset (csv, json, whatever) I can have a look. The Graun used to publish it reasonably quickly, or I might be able to find it on Wikidata...And a spreadsheet appears above, will get to it...
