In all, this is the most disproportionate election in modern British political history. Heinz Brandenburg, the University of Strathclyde political scientist has done the calculations - on the Gallagher index, the standard measure we academics use to describe disproportionality, this election scores 24, beating the previous record of 21 in 1931, an election in which Labour were reduced to a rump 55 seats by the National Coalition. By my reckoning this means the new Parliament will be the fifth most disproportional in the world, after St Lucia, Barbados, the Bahamas, and Bhutan - classic combo.
