In a few cases, mostly inner-city Labour seats, a party may obtain two Droop quotas - more than 66.67% - in which case both candidates of that party are elected, and the seat closed. A little over half the MPs should be elected in this manner, and election night coverage by TV networks would initially not look too different to what it does under FPTP. |

Such instances should be comparatively rare. |
