[Politics] And this is why you don't let geeks get bored ... (Proportional Representation)

If anyone is interested in what the election results would have been had we used the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation, palmersperry was a touch bored earlier.

The results he calculated are here.

EDIT: Apparently the method the BBC described as d'Hondt isn't quite the same as the d'Hondt method as described on Wikipedia - although they may actually produce the same results. So this is 'BBC d'Hondt', rather than 'Wikipedia d'Hondt'. Feel free to make your own calculations - sure someone on my friendslist has got a spreadsheet and a yen for algorithms ...

His previous post has an earlier calculation, which didn't use the national breakdowns of the more detailed calculation.
