  Human dynamics and sociophysics suggest statistical models that may explain
and provide us with a better understanding of social phenomena. Here we propose
a generative multiplicative decrease model that gives rise to a rank-order
distribution and allows us to analyse the results of the last three UK
parliamentary elections. We provide empirical evidence that the additive
Weibull distribution, which can be generated from our model, is a close fit to
the electoral data, offering a novel interpretation of the recent election
results.
