0.18 in my area, a Conservative safe seat. Nice website, good to see that my vote doesn't really count.

Apologies if this has been posted before.
It might be of interest to some UK members.
www.voterpower.org.uk...
By entering your post code, it gives you the 'power' of your vote in it's ability to create change within your constituency and compares it to the national average.
My vote power is a meagre 0.016 in my "ultra safe" constituency, much less than the idea of having 'one vote'. The 'average' UK voter has 16.67x more voter power, the ability to influence or change the party holding the local seat, than I do.
Whilst all this sounds pretty bad, I still think it's important to vote and have voted at every opportunity since 1986.

Thanks for that link. My voter power is 0.127 - Ha! In your face, disenfranchised boy! Er... no, actually I'm supposed to have half the average power of a UK voter.
I'm not convinced this is entirely accurate tho because our MP, Alan Simpson (Labour) who has held the seat since 92, had big personal support but is not standing this time. I dont see how a statistical analysis can take this kind of thing into account.
Anyway, I've wanted PR for years. Its the only way we can get any power for the smaller parties & only they aren't in the corporate pocket. I'm voting LibDem for that reason.
