while thats true, unless they have been particularly selective in the areas polled, it would be a rare constituency that didnt follow the trend, 59 is a substantial rate in favour. a few urban, demographically skewed seats would maybe have under a majority in favour, though very unlikly...

though of course many vote tribally on the rosette, some will be voting for the individual, one cant dismiss that out of hand. more the point though, the local constituency party selects the candidates. MPs should listen to the party members that selected them, more so than a new membership...
