General Election 2015 - Percentage of votes for Winning Parties

Box-and-whisker plot. X grouping is winning party. Y axis is percentage of votes cast for that party in its winning seats

 

Only two parties - SNP and Conservative - had a median above 50% of the electorate. Lib Dems, even when they won, scraped by on a support of less than 40%. Note the larger range and outliers in Labour support.
