darrenm Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm getting confused. Won't Tories need a majority of about 76 to be able to form a government? They need 326 so more than half of 650. So that would be 76 more than Labour on about 250 if the rest add up to 76. Or am I misinterpreting how everyone is quoting their majorities?
