What happens if everyone votes for the bananas party in the electorate vote but also vote for pear party in the party vote? The banana party wins 100% of the electorate seats but pear party wins 100% of the party vote. What happens then?

What happens with the party votes of a particular party that did not reach the 5% threshold and no electorate seat?
