Very silly (and not really representative) fun with numbers:
Mid-Beds was the 33rd safest Tory seat in the country.
Proportional Representation fans: Now's your moment to convince Sunak he'd do better in a GE if he rushed it through.
He's politically naïve enough to fall for it. 
@garius wait what’s that got to do with PR
@hotline_aguirre because if that result was reflected nation wide (which it won't be, but that's why it's a bit of silly fun) the Tories would retain more seats under PropRep than under First Past the Post.
@garius ohh, rushed PR though, I misread and thought you meant the election
@garius do you think many of the LibDem voters would've switched to the Tories?
@garius
Indeed.
Labour won with 34% of vote on a turnout of 44%, giving them about 15% of electorate.
That is such a strong argument for PR. Unless, of course, you do not believe in democracy but elective dictatorship. From that perspective it is a 'windfall' and the game is to get those windfalls.
@garius Or... given that it is knives-out season in the party (interesting painting that)... he will do it just to experience all the in-fighting to grapple for the top slots.
He might as well go down with some joy...
