15,945 rounded to the nearest whole number. Is 15,946 not a whole number? Damn, I didn't get taught that at my pre-1292 university college. Yes it is, but 66354*0.2403=15,944.8662 which rounds up to 15,945. |

The turnout is only given to two decimal places, so could be anything below 24.035% but not below 24.025%. Which would mean somewhere between 15,942 and 15,948 votes (inclusive). As already posted by someone who understands psephology, and arithmetic. |

How delightful would it be if the elected candidate used her speech to confirm she’s sending in a 1922 letter.

Hopefully the actual number of votes cast will be known soon, along with the (likely unusually high) number of spoiled ballot papers. |

In which case, you do an excellent impersonation of someone who understands neither. Chapeau! |

No TV coverage  isnt this just the sort of thing that the Parliament channel would be ideal for? Couple of talking heads in a small studio, a graphics panel and a few politicians to spin the result etc. Instead theyre showing footage of the House of Lords earlier today |

So about 16000 votes, are we thinking around 10000 for Tories and 6000 spread amongst the other candidates?
