Talk:Dennis Delderfield


Ropey maths

edit

"On February 24, 1977, Delderfield ran for office in the City of London and Westminster South by-election. Peter Brooke was elected with 11,962 votes and a majority of nearly 8,000. Delderfield polled 306 votes, losing the election by 143 votes." If he polled 306, and the winner polled 11,962, then I make that a very narrow loss by Delderfield by just 11,656 votes, rather than 143?
