I beg to differ, his,  Tony Blair that is, best ever was only just over 
33K votes
there are only about 77K people in each constituency, and less than that 
in *Sedgefield, the biggest in the country is the IOW with 110K *

And when I last voted I could only vote for my prospective 
representatives, not one I liked down the road.
The only people with more than one vote tend to be students and they 
only get it for local elections, I'm not sure how they go on for the 
regional parliament seats, but national elections its one person one 
vote in there registered parliamentary constituency.

cheers Ian Mac - vote for the person not the party.
