Subtract total number of other candidates that could win from the
winner count. This is the minimum number of seats that the 'winning'
party will win.
candidate total
subtract this from the number of seats up
most candidates will win:
So e.g:
5 candidates in total
3 seats up
3 Labour
1 Conservative
1 Green
5 (candidate total) - 3 (labour total) = 2 (or 1 con + 1 green)
3 (seats up) - 2 (other candidates, assuming they won) = 1 (Has to go to Labour)
