Inaccurate Conservative bar charts

Conservatives complain long and hard about bar charts on Lib Dem leaflets. Grumbles range from claims of inaccuracy, through the choice of election result shown to which parties are displayed. I was very surprised therefore to see a recent Conservative leaflet, displaying, guess what, a bar chart.

Now, you would think, that for an election in Woking the local Conservatives, who under the incumbent MP Humfrey Malins had a majority of 6612 at the last general election would want to a bar chart showing the local situation. But no, perhaps the Lib Dems are just a bit too close for comfort, especially when Mr Malins is standing down and they only get around to selecting a marketing man from outside of Woking to fight their corner late last year.

The Conservatives have gone for the national general election result in their bar chart - and they can't even get that right!
