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

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

Cool website. Makes me long for PR though.

glittery · 09/04/2010 18:55

voter power of 0.004
rank #642 out of 650!

smugmumofboys · 09/04/2010 18:59

Also, it says that my constituency is Tory. It isn't. The local MP is Labour and has been for ages.

Double

0.831, very marginal, and only that low as it is very big. Though funnily enough the Lib Dems have had the seat since 1992, but the Tories are close on their heels, which is why I am voting Lib Dem this year!

safe onservative seat.

huge constituency population wise. more people live in tory seats - it is possible for the conservatives to get more votes and still lose. c'est la vie.

this was liberal once, but i think labour has wooed some of them over...

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

I hope you are going to use your power wisely! Are you in the O or the P part of the constituency?

FrozenFlowers · 09/04/2010 22:18

0.583 - marginal. #101 out of 650.

It's Labour at the moment and could turn Lib Dem. My vote will probably end up wasted as I'm probably going to vote SNP, although I'm not entirely decided yet.

Nice to be in a marginal though - my mum's constituency in Liverpool (where I lived last time round) is ultra safe, and ranks as #632 out of 650!

FiveGoMadInDorset · 09/04/2010 22:25

Marginal 81 out of whatever it is, my vot is worh about 2.5 times.

feedthegoat · 09/04/2010 22:27

0.031. Ultra safe labour seat.

HinnyPet · 09/04/2010 22:35

Mumofmonsters I think we live in same place

stillenacht · 09/04/2010 22:39

0.009 of a vote - whoopdedoo

Ultra safe conservative seat.

The average voter has 25 times more voting power than I do....

642/660

stillenacht · 09/04/2010 22:41

650 sorry

gaelicsheep · 09/04/2010 22:45

1.41 times the national average here. Not bad. I don't mind who's in at the moment either.

I just pray that the privileged few who live in marginals are intelligent human beings.

CrankyTwanky · 09/04/2010 22:47

Quarter of a vote!

FiveGoMadInDorset · 09/04/2010 22:48

Anyone live in the most important constituency?

EightiesChick · 09/04/2010 22:48

0.046. Constituency is in the low 500s. This has made me more persuaded towards PR than I have ever been. I knew it was an ultra safe seat anyway, but to see the figures... Annoyingly, I am still agonising over how to vote as it means a lot to me to have it (people died etc) in spite of it being meaningless.

TinyPawz · 09/04/2010 22:49

0.004 Ultra safe

The average UK voter has 50x more voting power

Ranked 643 out of 650!

Although I could have guessed that.

IMoveTheStars · 09/04/2010 22:54

Tiny, where do you live?

I wonder where is #650?

ShinyAndNew · 09/04/2010 22:54

Ours is a very safe labour seat. However I am still voting Lib Dem. Who were the next most popular, so surely they have some chance?

littleducks · 09/04/2010 22:56

My vote is worth 0.182 of a normal vote

(will still vote though)

MP is tory and fairly good as a local MP, am not sure if a tory government would be a blessing or a disaster
