the maths bit...

Lib Dem votes = 28793

Conservative votes = 26976

Labour votes = 2675

UKIP = 1932

The difference in vote count between Lib Dem and Conservative is 1817. One vote is 0.055% of the total votes needed to swing the election in the Conservatives favour.

The difference in vote count between Lib Dem and UKIP is 26861. One vote is worth 0.0037% of the total votes needed to swing the election in UKIP's favour.

Any voter who would want UKIP to win this election but would rather the Conservatives win than the Liberal Democrats faces a difficult dilemma. A vote for the Conservatives is 14.86 times more likely to effect the outcome of an election than the UKIP vote.
