Do you understand how British elections work? Nobody voted for May or Corbin except for the voters in the districts they represented. Of the 650 members of Parliament elected this week, the results were as follows: Conservative 318 Labour 262 Scottish National Party 35 Liberal Democrat 12 Democratic Unionist Party 10 Sinn Fein 7 Plaid Cymru 4 Green Party 1 Independent 1 ---
