My dad bought the daily mail but always voted labour. I asked him why he bought it once and he said to keep an eye on the other side. Never really believed it mind

My university friend did and said the same, despite being a staunch Labour activist 15 years ago. He did actually end up being a Labour councillor in Southwark a couple of years ago, though he resigned after getting a conviction for beating up his wife. Not sure if he was still buying the Mail by that point.

I've just created a version with turnout for 2015, 2017 and change in turnout, plus produced a column stating whether it was a hold or gain for the winning party, as well as the size of the majority.
You can take a look here, but here are some 'interesting' stats:
Biggest rises in turnout were almost exclusively Labour holds - here are the top 30 rises in turnout
The biggest falls in turnout were all in Scotland and often happened in seats the SNP lost - here are the top 45 drops in turnout
I've attached the file if anyone wants to have a play around with the filters or make fancy graphs (Crispy)

Apparently electoral fraud didn't even manage to win an outright majority for them:

On ch4, undercover footage of a Tory call centre propaganda gig pretending to be market research. "As far as anyone's concerned, we are legit"! Bluetelecoms. Nuisance call bastards! 50 quid to anyone grassing a colleague who strays off message, dirty fuckers.

That reminds me of an old newspaper cartoon with Thatcher standing in front of a map of the country with big ''NO!''s all over it, smiling and saying, ''You see, I've united the whole country!''
I've done a few searches but can't find a copy online. To be fair it was in the paper before the internet.
