The Belgrave Circle effect is hitting UK politicsThe growth of smaller parties and their support is stirring up the next election and could decide who enters Downing Street.- ๐ฃ๏ธ This story is about a roundabout in Leicester that helps explain big changes in UK politics. Different voting areas meet there, so it shows how votes can change who wins.
- ๐ณ๏ธ Before, many people voted for the same big party. Now, votes are split between many smaller parties.
- ๐ When votes split, a party with fewer supporters can still win, just like slipping through the middle of traffic.
