The number of seats won by each party is based on a notional comparison with 
the results in 2005 taking into account the new constituency boundaries in 
England and Wales, which increased the size of the House of Commons by five 
seats. The Conservative seat and vote total includes the Speaker, who 
technically ran as an independent. The Conservative seat total includes the 
seat of Thirsk and Malton, where polling has been delayed, but which is a safe
Conservative seat.
