  2. ^ This column shows the change in vote share percentage from the 2010 general election to the 2015 general election. It does not account for by-elections.

In this table, however, the speaker (who usually does not vote in the Commons) is listed separately, and has been removed from the Conservative tally.

  6. ^ The BBC groups together the votes under the Scottish Christian Party (1,467 votes); Christian Party (1,040 votes); and Christian (698 votes) labels, for a total of 3,205 votes. The Guardian lists these designations separately.
