Who’s counting?
In December 2019, the Conservative Party won the UK General Election with a minority of the vote: 43.6% of voters supported them or—if you prefer—29.3% of the electorate.
In the former Home Secretary’s second letter of resignation from that position, published yesterday, she claimed:
I have always striven to give voice to the quiet majority that supported us in 2019.
The majority—56.4% of voters—supported candidates other than Conservatives.
Perhaps political maths isn’t Braverman’s strong suit.
