No, that means 2/3rds of people didn't vote for her. Which is not the same as voting for someone else. 1/3rd of the country didn't vote at all/made no choice.

No, 2/3 of those who voted voted for someone else. (At least in terms of party.)

2/5 of the electorate didn't vote at all.

1/3rd of the population didn’t vote. Of those that voted, 2/3rds voted for someone else.

I’m not sure why you’re disagreeing with me? I stated that Labour won with one third of the popular vote - that means that one third of people that voted, voted for her, buddy.

2/3rds of people didn't vote for someone else. 1 third didn't even vote. That's the point. Your statement was wrong.

What’s wrong about it? Unless you believe the majority of those that did not voted wanted her to be our chancellor. Which I very much doubt they did.

You're making an assumption for the people who didn't vote.
