`  == Adding percentages to the table ==  I just tried to add the percentages of the seats in parliament to the results table. But that didn't work - I just messed up the table. And because at the moment there will still be many people who want to look that up I quickly reverted the change. The problem is that, as I understand it, before seeing the preview in this page, the Template:Election_Summary_Party first needs to be changed - really changed, not just a preview. What I did was add  align=``right`` |  |  after  align=``center`` |  |  Then I changed the entries in the table, for example for the first one (Labour) I added  |%          = 55.2  after the seats-entry (see below for a more complete example (that one's for an extra row)). But that didn't work. I suppose I need to alter another template, but I don't know how and I don't have the time now to research this. Hopefully someone else can do this in a whiffy. Or is there an easy explanation? Here are the percentages:  Labour Party (UK)  55.2  Conservative Party (UK) 30.5  Liberal Democrats (UK) 9.6  United Kingdom Independence Party 0  Scottish National Party 0.9  Green Party of England and Wales 0  Democratic Unionist Party 1.4  British National Party 0  Plaid Cymru 0.5  Sinn Féin 0.8  Ulster Unionist Party 0.2  Social Democratic and Labour Party 0.5  RESPECT The Unity Coalition 0.2  Scottish Socialist Party 0  Veritas (political party) 0  Alliance Party of Northern Ireland 0  Scottish Green Party 0  Peter Law 0.2  Socialist Labour Party (UK) 0  Liberal Party (UK, 1989) 0  Independent Kidderminster Hospital and Health Concern 0.2  Socialist Green Unity Coalition 0  Notice that the discrepancies between the percentages for number of votes and number of seats is often quite substantial. For example, the Labour party got 35 % of the votes but 55 % of the seats (mostly at the expense of the Liberal Democrats). Quite a difference! Especially since this means an absolute majority in parliament. That is what I was mostly interrested in when I came to this article. But that info wasn't there, so I had to do the calculations myself. And having done that I thought I might as well add it to the table. It is too important a thing not to point out.  To do the calculations I had to add the figures up. Having done that I thought I might as well add that to the table too, but I already got stuck with the first bit. Only the totals for the number of seats and votes make sense, but what I had in mind was this:    |party      = TOTAL   |seats      = 645   |%          = 100   |gain       = -   |loss       = -   |net        = -   |votes      = 26,913,618   |%          = 100   |plus/minus = -   12:08, 2005 May 13 (UTC)`
