Repeating word-for-word something I posted elsewhere:
    My own existing MP, who represents my party-of-choice in a very safe seat, is standing down. None of the candidates this time round, including the new candidate for my party-of-choice, have made any particular effort to persuade me of anything at all, and none of them are people I've met or have heard of.

    So while I've ticked "Candidate", above, I'll probably end up voting for the party.

His poll's answers are (currently) at variance with yours.

... and now I see that you and he have exchanged comments above.

Safe seat. There's your reason.

No idea what your politics are, but most parties pull resources out of safe seats these days; not enough campaigners, marginals too important. Roll on electoral reform.
