There's a simple solution to that.

If they removed themselves from the race then the chances of the result not being clear-cut would drop to near-zero.

Hung, not hanged. Honestly. The only reasonable response is to raise the ghastly spectre of a well-hung parliament.

It's as bad as that terrible English teacher who confused capital and corporal punishment. Mind you, they never had trouble with misbehaviour in their class after word got round: "You really don't want to mess around in Jeffries' English lessons - you know a kid got killed for talking out of turn?".
