Very cool website which tells you how much your vote is really worth....

[catinthehat2]

Find out how powerful your vote is compared to the UK average

I live in a safe seat, my vote is worthless.

My post code is fine and works... but like MissAnneElk, it shows the old constituency. (Probably because it works off legacy data, and there aren't any for the new constituency which has been formed due to population increase)

Actually... whereabouts are you MissAnneElk?

O.004 - Ultra safe - Labour area (South Wales Valleys so no surprise there!).

and the Average voter has 50x more power than I do.

ooh mine is 0.811 - so very marginal

explains why the Tories ahve sent us ELEVEN letters EACH over the past six weeks - is getting very irritating

Great website,(nr 380 so v safe seat). However our (standing down) Labour MP has really made himself unpopular as it became clear that he lives 100+miles away and spends his time doing consultancy work for a big company so it might be a bit closer than previously. I'll be voting anyway - women died for my vote.

OrientCalf - you'll probably find those letters are being funded by Michael Ashcroft who's funding activities in key marginals. That's Lord 'I don't pay taxes here but want to tell you how to run the country' Ashcroft.

0.148. Tory stronghold.

My constituency or postcode do not appear to exist either

0.082

Safe Tory seat.

0.544. which means i have more than 2.15times the power of the average voter in the uk.
as london tipton says, yeah me!

0.045 Ultra safe labour seat (no surprise).

Great website. 0.043 safe Tory seat unfortunately. Still going to vote though.

Oooh, my parents live in a very marginal seat! I'm sending the link to them.

I've got 0.082 - so no chance of getting rid of Peter Lilley who hates foreigners like my dh

According to the website a donkey wearing a red rosette could get elected where I live. Bollocks.

Granny, you must be in the same constituency as me! I feel powerful, my vote is 3.25 X more important than average.

Um, this says I live in an Ultra Safe Labour seat. The Lib Dems won in a by-election 4 years ago.

I have 1.69x more voting power than the UK average.

Mine says it's Fairly Safe. So why do George Osborne, and this morning David Cameron, keep writing to both of us? F OFF

As I suspected. I have a homeopathic vote index

Tis a cool site.

My constituency ranks #23 out of 650 constituencies in the Voter Power Index, and I have 3.59 times the average voting power.

So this website tells me I am in an ultra-safe seat. When in fact I am in the Lib Dem seat in London most likely to go Tory, because my MP has a small majority and the Tory candidate is a billionaire who has spent £0.25m of his own money trying to buy the seat. If only he was not a tax exile, maybe his millions could have been used to pay taxes to help the local hospital he bangs on about so much....

Hmmm. Very safe apparently, but not according to the Indie election pull-out which said that ours was one of the clincher seats as incumbent Labour MP is retiring. Also, Tory candidate came a-calling and told DH that it's not that safe.
