27/04/2015	The People Decide	This one's a little different from the normal 'Your Choice' round to mark the occasion of the 2015 General Election.... We have divided the UK into just 15 constituencies as indicated by the 15 'question titles' used. In our election the 8 parties competing for seats have each chosen their candidates solely because their names contained the 3-letter party abbreviation of that party. The answer for each ‘constituency question’ is the name of the winning candidate for that seat. Each party wins at least one seat and wins are in likely locations. Some winners, however, seem to be dead! The 3-letter party abbreviations used are: LAB = Labour; CON = Conservative; LIB = Lib Dem; UKI = UKIP; GRE = Green; SCO = Scot Nats; PLA = Plaid Cymru; DEM = DUP (Ulster)	Format index
