Way down. I work it out as 20.42%

For the major parties (more than 2% of the vote):-

Con vote=42.4% seats=48.9% diff=6.5%
Lab vote=40.0% seats=40.3% diff=0.3%
SNP vote=3.0% seats=5.4% diff=2.4%
LD vote=7.4% seats=1.8% diff=5.5%

The absolute difference doesn't make much sense. Seats per vote shows things better imo.

Con Vote=42.4%, Seats=48.9% Seats/Vote = 1.15
Lab Vote=40.0%, Seats=40.3% Seats/Vote = 1.01
SNP Vote=3.0%, Seats=5.4% Seats/Vote = 1.8
LD Vote=7.4%, Seats=1.8% Seats/Vote = 0.24

I was just calculating the figure that was calculated in the video for 2017 (they video did it for all of the elections up to 2015 but not 2017).
