> I was referring to the 2015 and 2016 elections

But your claim isn't true for 2015 either.

36.8 + 12.6 = 49.4%

And there wasn't any election in 2016. Do you mean the referendum? You cannot 'split the vote' in a yes/no referendum, can you?

Your claim is also not true for 2017, before you try that one as well.

42.3 + 1.8 = 44.1%

sorry 2017, a typo - I will chastise immediately

And it's by far and away the largest grouping in parliament. The UK's regional politics make it something that isn't going to be binary.

I'm not "trying" anything. I'm just sick of the bs around Ruskies telling people to Brexit.

I did say "from memory".

Anyway - I voted remain. I just can't stand the Ruskies thing and the constant revisiting of the referendum result with different angles of "but it's not valid" used each time.
