5 way split under FPTP
Have you ever wondered what parliament would look like if the Tories, Labour, Lib Dems, Greens, and Reform all got 18% of the vote?
No? Well unlucky.
Tories: 185 seats (-193) Labour: 219 (+24) Lib Dem: 100 (+92) Reform: 38 (+38) Green: 28 (+27)
As you can see, despite all the parties achieving the same share of the vote, there are some minor discrepancies on seat numbers.

What a joke of a system.
We can see what it looks like though often in NI where our sister party won I believe Belfast South in either 2010 or 2015 on 24.5% of the vote. iirc this is the lowest share of the vote someone has ever won a seat on in the UK.
tbf, NI doesnt really have a two-party system which GB has. but yes, fptp is a joke a system.
Alliance are surging in NI, while DUP are crashing. Will be a fascinating side story at the next election
If we had 5 parties all 18% each nationally we wouldn't have a 2 party system here either
