Original Note:
Bridgen was expelled from the Conservative Party for his conspiracy views on COVID. He joined a small right wing populist party but chose to stand as an independent in his constituency against a new Conservative candidate. This explains his vote collapse. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/apr/26/former-tory-mp-andrew-bridgen-expelled-permanently-from-party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Bridgen
