Strange site. According to that site, voters in Hove have about four times more say than voters in Pavilion. Yet, the betting is that Hove is going to be a comfortable majority for the Tories, yet Pavilion looks like a tight two-horse race. Surely, the tighter the constituency, the more your vote counts?

In the grand scheme of things I expect its probably worth slightly less than f*** all

"In Reigate, one person does not really have one vote, they have the equivalent of 0.066 votes."

Spot on. I'm wasting my time in Reigate, but I'll be voting anyway.

Its based on previous general election results, not the results of polls or euro election results.

Most safe seats rarely change hands, it looks like with Brighton Pavillion could be an exception to this rule however I wouldn't count on it. When push comes to shove people are far less likely to vote for minority parties in a general election.

I'm moving the missus and the lil Trickyones to Shoreham harbour in a couple of weeks. Any idea of the constituency names as the post code thingy can't find our new address!?

If you think that Brighton Pavilion is not going to change hands I'd get down to the bookies - you can get 9-2 on Labour. That's very generous odds for a supposedly safe seat.

"In Arundel & South Downs, one person does not really have one vote, they have the equivalent of 0.072 votes" So does that mean i might aswell just not vote?

That site is utter tosh. I live in Elmet & Rothwell ward. They have it down as currently a fairly safe seat. Currently Labour, but pre Blair solid Tory. Its the type of seat that the Torys must win if they stand any chance of being in power.

Unfortunately YES! I will vote in Arundel but it isn't going to make a blind bit of difference whichever way I choose to vote until we get some form of PR.

I would hope that everyone would want to vote, given the sacrifices many have made to allow us the freedom to vote. However that very statement seems to support those the CHOOSE not to vote also?

Over the past 3 elections it has been 'fairly safe' for Labour. Labours vote dropped 14% at the last election but they still comfortably held.
