True in many cases but not all, I suspect a certain recently jailed MP would have been out on his behind if av was available in his constituency. Robin Cook held mostly 5 figure majorities but I think Devine was down to a couple of thousand. Some tactical voting by Libs to SNP would have got rid of his sorry tail.
