Fill in this table and use it to draw a pie chart showing the proportion of the vote each party got in the 2015 General Election. You will need to combine some of the small parties into a category called "other".First fill in the table by working out how many degrees are needed for each sector of the pie chart. The first has been done for you. 11,334,920 ÷ 30,374,237 x 360=134.3
Party Votes Degrees Conservative 11,334,920 134.3 Democratic Unionists 184,260 Green Party 1,157,613 Independent 25,995 Labour Party 9,347,326 Liberal Democrats 2,415,888 Plaid Cymru 181,694 SDLP 99,809 Sinn Fein 176,232 Scottish Nationalist Party 1,454,436 UKIP 3,881,129 Ulster Unionist 114,935 Total 30,374,237 359.9
Don't worry that the angles add up to 359.9. You have rounded all the figures so you would expect a small amount of error. This is very close to 360, so it is fine.
Now fill in this table and use it to draw a pie chart showing the proportion of the seats each party got in the 2015 General Election. You will need to combine some of the small parties into a category called "other". Conservatives have been calculated by 331 ÷ 650 x 360 because there are 650 seats and 360 degrees in a circle.
Now write a short paragraph explaining what your pie charts show. Do you think the first past the post system is fair?
