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

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

Ooooh. I have much power.

Everyone should be verrrrry nice to me.

Mwah ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa!

3.97x more voting power than the UK average

Ultra safe Tory seat with 0.0047% vote. We rank 513 out 450 in the voter power index.

off to check my family results! Really interesting.

I'm in a very marginal seat where we have 3.99x more voting power than the UK average.

0.088

524 out of 650,vote power 0.044 - another Tory safe seat here!
I would love to live in a marginal,I have always voted but I've always lived in a safe seat,it is beginning to frustrate me that my vote is effectively worthless...

4.1x more power than the average vote! Wow, we are ranked no6 and are very marginal, not that I wasn't going to vote anyway but I shall now be going round instructing everyone that it is their DUTY! (prob going to be v unpopular after school today!)

I think there might have been boundary changes in Gloucester GOML - there was some mention of it on the website. I guess large swathes of Glos are solid Tory territory!

As an aside - can I interest you in a free family concert I'm organising in Highnam on 23rd May?!?

ooh we are no 10 out of 650

4.01x more voting power than the UK average

Hmm well my vote stands for nothing!!! 650/650 other voters in the UK have 100x more voting power! so should i just not bother?

Ultra save labour seat - which im actually quite surprised about i thought the lib dems would have done much better here.....

0.003 here

Marginal constituency. I quite like my local MP, not so sure about her party's policies though. I have just found out that there is a UKIP candidate from a local well know food shop owner.

mine is 0.053%, ultra safe tory

Very interesting if you are not sure who to vote for.

0.004 Ultra Safe - doesn't seem worth going out to vote but I will anyway.

Does anyone know where the most powerful voters are?

We (Ceredigion) are #2 with our votes being worth 1.22 votes each. Does anyone know who is #1?

I am delighted that I live in a marginal seat. We really don't know which way it is going to go (last time there were only about 300 votes between first and second place). It's really exciting!

I'm in a very safe seat. Its still important that everyone votes as the real views of the population will be vital to the electoral reform debate which is likely to ensue.

I know BlameItOnTheBogey I have a new found enthusiasm for it all now!. Last election here (apparently) was conservative winner but only a tiny bit (less than 1%)so now i am voting first thing tomorrow lol.

0.073 here Ultra safe Tory.

Will this sort of thing make people think it's not worth voting? People who don't vote drive me mad.

0.225 - 236 out of 650. Apparently it's because we're a larger than usual constituency.

Can anyone explain that to me, actually? How is it that even after they redrew the boundaries, our constituency MP represents 80,000 people when the average is about 68,000? Surely the population can't be changing that dramatically between each election - or are there just lots of semi-rotten boroughs around the country where the electorate comprises 4 men and a donkey?
