They seem to be a nice, safe distance from a majority.

A Labour-Lib Dem pact, with the SDLP and Greens, would push them almost there though, once you take off the speaker and Sinn Fein.


I suppose we could loosely say the "left" won the election, if we count labour as left.

Also the real line is actually 323 cause of the sinn Fein results, not including whoever is speaker, if you add Lab,Fibs,PC,SNP,and the green which is 324, could add in Alliance with 1 and SDLP with 3, PR could be forced through this parliment regardless of what the Tories want. Unless SF decide to attend parliment to vote with the Tories, which seems unlikely.
