That WEP figure is insane. They only had 7 candidates all of whom won a derisory vote Their two largest items, NOW Advertising Ltd and Posterscope UK, cumulative total £207,720, were notional spending returns. Seems that their big advertising launch was actually a loss leader for the ad agencies. The WEP are a classic London media bubble party so perhaps it's fair that they pick up the tab. |

They only had 7 candidates all of whom won a derisory vote They did however split the Green vote detrimentally (in the five constituencies featuring both WEP and Green candidates, which were Manchester Withington, Hornsey & Wood Green, Tunbridge Wells, Vauxhall, and the Vale of Glamorgan), just as they did in the 2016 London Mayor and Assembly elections.
The Greens should never have stood down for Sophie Walker in Shipley-she never had a chance and she had never lived in Shipley; it is also the Greens' strongest constituency in the Metropolitan Borough of Bradford.

The "Realists' Party" spent nearly £1000-and polled a derisory 61 votes in the only constituency they stood in, Lewisham Deptford. Similar thing with Concordia, who polled 85 votes in Dagenham & Rainham despite spending £1269.

BBC's election night show in Scotland: In 2015 the Scottish programme was actually better in terms of showing the results of individual constituencies, even ones outside Scotland, than the UK show in London, and from watching the first hour or so of the 2017 programme it looks like that might be true again. I have noticed that is true of Scottish programmes before. They seem eager to show the results, rather than the usual talking heads. BBC Scotland should produce the national show! |

You must ALL check out the link kindly provided by David. It is hilarious. "Chemistry meetings" and a lead figure named Remco. W1A all over again.  |

'detrimentally' in what way exactly? The Greens also won a derisory vote in those constituencies - it's not like their intevention cost you a deposit or anything. And why do you assume those who voted for them would otherwise have voted Green ? |

A former Lib Dem HQ staffer has done the maths I couldn’t be bothered to do:

My favourite example of this is Humanity, who spent $4,255 in order to win 282 votes in Derbyshire Dales. |

I've just skimmed this, but the turnout returning to the 1997 level amongst the youngest bracket will have certainly helped Labour, even if the age-based polarisation has meant Tory-identifiers are now more likelier to vote than their Labour counterparts. I believe that movement had already happened, but the increase in turnout amongst the young helped substantially to offset that. |
