I still don't get this % bizness

2005 - Labour get 35% of the vote and 356 seats. Tories get 32% of the vote and 198 seats. So Labour had 3% more of the vote which equalled 158 seats. 61% turn out.

2010 - Labour get 29% of the vote and 255 seats (so far). Tories get 36% of the vote and 310 seats (so far). So Tories get 7% more of the vote - twice the lead of Labour in 2005 - and yet have a lead of only 55 seats.
