Political history section - misleading/inaccurate text[edit]

I think the text that states: "With the exception of a close 1963 by-election, the constituency has always returned substantial majorities for the Conservatives. The Liberal/Liberal Democratic parties came second in every election between 1974 and 2010. No other parties have broken the keep-deposit threshold of 5% of the vote." in the political history section of the article is misleading, if not outright wrong. It seems to me to imply only the Conservatives and Liberals/Lib Dems have retained their deposit. In fact Labour has always polled much more than 5% and in 2015 UKIP's candidate came second and had over 13% of the vote. I would suggest that this text should either be removed or edited to better reflect the actual electoral history of the Stratford-on-Avon constituency. Dunarc (talk) 16:33, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
