I’ve checked the general election results %s and there’s nothing wrong with them.
They are all rounded to 1 decimal place and are 100% accurate.
If we needed more accurate results we’d go with 2 or more decimal places, but what’s the point?
The only issue with having 1 decimal place instead of 2 (or more) is for the Blaenau Gwent People’s Voice party that gained 0.02% of the vote which when rounded to 1 decimal place = 0.0%.
