Well, that's my Christmas sorted. The House of Commons have issued a research paper - UK Election Statistics: 1918-2018 - 100 years of elections - for free download on their website.

I've downloaded this but I won't be able to read it for a while - is there anything interesting in it?

"Every five years someone was elected to be Tyrant, provided he could prove that he was honest, intelligent, sensible, and trustworthy. Immediately after he was elected, of course, it was obvious to everyone that he was a criminal madman and totally out of touch with the view of the ordinary philosopher in the street looking for a towel. And then five years later they elected another one just like him, and really it was amazing how intelligent people kept on making the same mistakes."
