As you can see, it's broadly similar to the presidential election, but with some important differences. Instead of winning electoral votes in an Electoral College, parties are competing for seats in a parliament. Parties have leaders instead of nominees and running mates, and the leaders have a seat instead of a home state.

The biggest difference between the presidential and parliamentary formats is that parliamentary infoboxes show how each party's performance compares to the previous election. For example:


 * party1         = Labour Party (UK)
 * last_election1 = 271 seats, 34.4%
 * seats1         = 418
 * seat_change1   = 145
 * percentage1    = 43.2%
 * swing1         = 8.8%
