Seeing not many competitors I might try to win this. What is the pro and anti trend? Is it the most or least % won by a party in a riding? 

Pro and anti trend refers to the swing in a seat relative to the overall swing. For example, if the Tories suffer a -10% swing in federal elections but improve their vote share by 5% Calgary West, then Calgary West has a 15% pro-Tory trend.
