Katherine Fahy is currently doing recently did a stint in Coronation Street. Is she? I thought that was back in 2020 and only a couple of episodes at that. FTFM

Whilst I did find that interesting, I was wondering if you could point the forum to the part of the article that is relevant to the subject of psephological trivia? Or did you perhaps meant to post that somewhere in Off Topic?

Leaving aside all the usual problems about boundaries and people voting differently under different systems, there is of course one additional fundamental flaw in this sort of analysis for the 2019 election. The fact the Brexit party didn't stand in half the seats means that their vote share is suppressed everywhere except for the most Labour-heavy areas. They were almost entirely absent in much of southern and eastern England, and in other parts of the country being one or two candidates down compared to other parties in multi-member seats will likely have misrepresented their support compared to the larger parties. The allocation of seats in the STV analysis would most likely have been very different if every voter had had the choice of a Brexit Party candidate.

The vast majority of these exercises are flawed.

Interesting but flawed as you say. On AV and STV how can you say for sure how people would have voted beyond their first vote?
I've always preffered d'Hondt and have done my own "fantasy d'Hondt" GE results for the last few elections, but could never figure out how to properly display them on here..I could put up the headline figures but that misses a lot of detail

Among many other highlights I note the appearance of a single name candidate. Trying to find out who that was.

I believe it's Musaire (1894-1984), a musician and populariser of the theremin back in the day if that helps.
