Only 56 nominated multiple candidates; 25 nominated 10 or more. No party nominated a candidate in every constituency; the party with the most candidates was the Conservative Party, which nominated 631 of its own candidates and jointly-nominated a further 17 with the Ulster Unionist Party, meaning it nominated candidates in 648 of 650 constituencies. The Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats both nominated candidates in the same 631 seats. The United Kingdom Independence Party (572 candidates) and the British National Party (338 candidates) were the only other parties who nominated candidates in more than half the seats up for election; the English, Welsh and Scottish Green parties did, however, nominate 330 between them. The average voter had a choice of between 5 and 6 party candidates in a constituency, with every constituency having at least 3 party candidates. Voters could not support parties who did not contest the constituency they voted in.
