But looking at those results, it's interesting to note what statisticians would call the outliers - those who did extremely well or exceptionally poorly.
For the winning UDP, Mesopotamia Representative Michael Finnegan had the best showing; he increased his margin of victory since 2008 - and garnered an impressive 81.6% of the vote.
Party Leader Dean Barrow followed closely behind in Queen Square, also increasing his margin to 78%.
The UDP had the biggest swing against it in Toledo West - losing 23% of the support it has in 2008 - with Juan Coy going from 60% of the vote in 2008 down to 36.6%.
The PUP had its most comfortable margin of victory in Cayo South where Julius Espat got 65% of the vote.
The Port Loyola Area for the UDP also bears watching where the UDP candidate Anthony Martinez experienced a 12% swing against him - going from 74% to a still very dominant 62.2%.
A look at this graph, shows the election trend for the number of registered voters, the number of ballots cast and the number who voted for the PUP and the UDP.
You'll see that in the 2012 - the red and the blue are the closest they have been in the last four elections.
