Boil Wash Required

We'll just leave these numbers here for the record...

Perth & Kinross-shire constituency has 77,261 eligible voters.

50,219 votes were cast.

That's a turnout of 65%.

18,928 of them were for Pete Wishart.

Which means that 24.5% of the constituency's voters actually voted for him.

Or, put another way: over 75% of Pete Wishart's constituents i.e. people he claims to represent, did not vote for him.
