ParlGov lists parties with at least 1 percent of the vote or 2 seats, so the rows do not add up to the valid votes.

ParlGov counts an alliance's votes and seats under its first party: such a row names the allies it counts.

ParlGov marks results before 1945 as experimental: they may need revision, so we compare them with no other election.
