Oh so typical of Politics in Britain. All about the Politicians and Partys. The only section of the local electorate to feature are (in this particular instance) the 6,257 more that give the winning candidate their 'majority'.
The total of the votes mentioned in #1 is 21,769. However...
"Although constituencies vary widely in area, the average number of voters in each constituency is approximately 68,175."*
What pitiful Democracy can glibly ignore an average of 46,406 x 650 ? [that is 30,163,900 people across the country]

I wonder what the shortfall in voter registration is for that constituency, what the turnout was, spoiled ballots etc.?
Still...somebody won...something(?!)
