Can someone please explain to me this top-up procedure? I know that in 2008 the PN won the most first preferences and yet failed to win a majority of seats, and for that reason they were entitled to top-up seats to give them a single seat majority (35-34). I've read on some sources (okay, wikipedia, shoot me!) that PN are getting four extra seats to ensure proportionality. I was under the impression this only happened under the 2008 scenario, and not for the runner up. Can someone please explain this?
I've 39 for Labour, 26 for PN. Wikipedia claims 26-30 for PN, which does give them a fairly proportional seat share. I've just not read about this secondary top-up provision.
