Are they standing there for no reason at this stage? Surely the voting stations are closed now, right?

How does it work in Britain? Is it proportional representation?

No, no; I understand that. Just wondering how they hand out the seats and if it's according to population. I mean, does London have a shi% load of seats to hand out?

But how do they settle how many seats to grant each area? Is it based on population?
