How democratic is this?

If swings were uniform across the country, how many seats would each party get?

The BBC has a nifty election seat calculator. Based, for instance, on the 16th's YouGov poll, Conservatives with 37% of the vote would get 278 seats, Labour, with only 31% of the vote, would get 6 more seats, and the LibDems, with 22%, would have 59.

This blog has no regard for Cameron, but this is unfair to people who vote for him.
