Note - seats are allocated first by the D'Hondt method to Electoral coalitions, which were (A + F), (B + Q), (C + V), (J + N) with (O) by themselves; then subsequently between the parties in each coalition. Compared to straight allocation by party, The People's Movement Against the EU gained one seat at the expense of the Conservative People's Party.
