D'Hondt the North East of England

Now I have just done this as an exercise, and know in all realities it wouldn't happen. But if we use the system for the European Parliament so we can be fair, why not for regions in the UK. Couldn't councils do more for local communities and MPs then look after a region?

Well, when you make a mistake it is best to say sorry and then correct it as soon as, It was late last night and I had just finished work (don't drink, so wasn't that as some had suggested). OK so excuses over. I had run the results with simply dividing the number each time by two and it should have been by one plus its total of MPs. So below is the corrected version, still fairer in my opinion.

 You've made a mistake The seats would be distributed as follows
Lab seats 1,4,5,8,9,12,13,16,17,21,22,25,28,29 - 14 in total
C seats 2,6,10,14,18,23,26 - 7 in total
LD seats 3,7,11,15,19,24,27 - 7-in total
BNP seat 20 - 1 in total

Which is fairer for the NE England?

FPTP Party gets 43.6% gains 86.2% of seats
D'Hondt 43.6% gains 48.3% of seats

Anyways here is how the N.East of England would look.
In the 2010 General Election the 29 seats were split 25 Labour 2 Conservative 2 Libdem
Now Labour only got 43.6% of the vote but won over 87% of the seats
If you used the D'Hondt formula
It would be as such
Labour 8 Conservatives 7 LibDems 7 BNP 4 UKIP 3

Now the practicalities of MPs covering areas or over lapping would be a nightmare, then again MEPs cover a whole region in the Parliament of Europe. So would this be a fairer split of the votes than the present system?
