In my consituency of Sheffield Central the majority was 165 in May 2010. This is described as ‘fairly safe’ (sic)- this is presumably because historically it has been safe but then ignores that the seat is changing rapidly. In addition the differential between FPTP and AV is quite small. Until the assumptions behind the calculations are made explicit in the website itself (using simple propositions), I will treat it (as most of NEF output) as graphically interesting but no more.
