How this works: shares are each party's percentage of reader votes across all electorate polls, leaving out “undecided” and “prefer not to say”, grouped by today's line-up in Parliament. It does not convert votes into seats, apply the 5% threshold or count electorate wins. Voluntary Webfit News reader results, not a scientific poll or an election forecast.
