It's just that no-one had huge rallies when Labour (not pointing this at you) won with a smaller percentage of the voting public, and nobody said they didn't have a mandate.
Caroline Lucas tweeted the same stat you used, and it was pointed out that, according to that logic, she had no mandate in her constituency, as less than 30% of eligible voters voted for her....

No offence taken. The whole concept of a mandate has lost meaning when you look this this election and the Labour wins you mention. You are right, the whole electoral system needs updating to match the changed landscape.
