I was told its a safe seat, and this somewhat proves it - 0.066. (Daventry)

Romsey & Southampton North ranks #16 out of 650 constituencies in the Voter Power Index.

I grew up in: Stockton North ranks #568 out of 650 constituencies in the Voter Power Index

bit of a difference ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

For me it's equivalent to trying to effect the volume of the sea by pissing in it.
That analogy comes with the appropriate political colours too.

0.172 - it's a safe Labour seat since the boundary changes, which is why Alistair Darling was parachuted into it and the previous MP bought off with a peerage.

Was in a very marginal seat (Croydon Central) but after a boundary change now in a safe Tory one (Croydon South) :o(

0.06 here, with Labour getting more than 50% of the vote in 2005, and having held the seat since 1992 - http://www.voterpower.org.uk/darlington

But... I think it's going to be considerably closer than that this time around and, locally, I think Labour are worried. The North East is going to be much less red in a fortnight.

I think the stats this site uses are dodgy. I think that Where I live is considerably more marginal than the site reckons. Rothwell and Elmet.

pretty safe tory seat in a peninsula of red and orange ones. Labour and Lib Dem equally unpopular here, (and the local UKIP candidate is just hilaroius!) so it means i will vote with my principles rather than just voting tactically to keep CallMeDave out.

.885. Guildord is number 1 on the Liberals hit list. Only a few hundred votes in it between them and the Tories.
