The best value candidate so far...
is Michael Sparling, Labour, South East Cornwall. I've called him to ask how he got through the entire "long" and "short" general election campaigns (ie before and after the official starting gun was fired) without spending any money at all. Waiting for a call back.
Labour's Janet Hulme, North Cornwall, spent only £640, which make her 1,971 votes look pretty good value at 33 pence each - except that she lost her £500 deposit, which raises the price to 58 pence each. Still the cheapest cost-per-vote in North Cornwall.
It's going to take a while to blog every detail so please check back at least once a day.
