This has to be one of the most Eurosceptic constituencies in South West England- The Referendum Party more than comfortably saved their deposit here in 1997, while UKIP went on to do so in 2001 and 2005, before increasing their vote to over 8% in 2010. How many other contenders for a saved deposit for a Eurosceptic party over the last four general elections are there?
