I wonder if this election will spark electorate reform, especially a move to proportional representation of some kind. It's possible in the aftermath to have many parties (UKIP, Greens) where they voter share doesn't translate to many seats at all. You could have, theoretically at least, a situation where the majority of the parliament is made up 600+ seats are assigned according to 60% of the vote whereas the other 40% gets a handful.
