Do you feel that, like parliament, the numbers in a pie graph should always add to 100? The seat doesn't just go unfilled. Somebody has to get that last percentage.

Example: 80.4% + 10.3% + 9.3% = 100%, but all numbers round down.

I get that. My point is that if you had 100 seats to fill in parliament the hundredth seat would have to be filled by someone so it's ironic to see the opposite logic applied to a pie chart when the topic is specifically parliament related.
