changing the output

This is the code:

def voting_borda(args):
    results = {}
    for sublist in args:
        for i in range(0, 3):
            if sublist[i] in results:
                results[sublist[i]] += 3-i
            else:
                results[sublist[i]] = 3-i

    winner = max(results, key=results.get)
    return winner, results

print(voting_borda(
    ['GREEN','NDP', 'LIBERAL', 'CPC'],
    ['GREEN','CPC','LIBERAL','NDP'],
    ['LIBERAL','NDP', 'CPC', 'GREEN']
))

The output produced is

"('GREEN', {'LIBERAL': 5, 'NDP': 4, 'GREEN': 6, 'CPC': 3})"

I don’t want the party names in the output (liberal, ndp, green and cpc) I just need the values, How can I edit the code to achieve that?

edit:

the error message i got after testing the above code (with: >>>voting_borda([[‘NDP’, ‘CPC’, ‘GREEN’, ‘LIBERAL’],[‘NDP’, ‘CPC’, ‘LIBERAL’, ‘GREEN’],[‘NDP’, ‘CPC’, ‘GREEN’, ‘LIBERAL’]])

Traceback (most recent call last):

Answer 1

For Python 2.7 :

return winner, [value for value in results.values()])

For Python 3.x :

return winner, list(results.values())
