    Labour nearly had it in the first round, with 47% of the vote already.

    Reform would have needed virtually every single person to have put them as their second choice.

    That said, the number of second round votes to each party were surprisingly close…

    • Labour and Co-operative Party: 251,449
    • Reform UK: 111,928
    • Green Party: 64,968
    • Restore Britain: 46,289
    • Conservative Party: 41,021
    • Liberal Democrats: 14,702
    • Independent: 2,969

    SECOND ROUND ADDITIONAL VOTES
