So you don't have to scrape the BBC yourself:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~twomack/2010-results.txt

contains 4056 lines of the form

Chelsea & Fulham } Blue Environment Party } 17


The vote-count is blank for all the parties in Thirsk & Malton since that election hasn't happened yet.

The example script here makes the following list of parties standing in more than twenty places:

Party nameNumber of places standing Deposits saved
Socialist Labour Party230
Monster Raving Loony Party270
Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition380
Plaid Cymru4029
Scottish National Party5959
Christian Party710
English Democrats1071
Independent25013
Green3357
British National Party33872
UK Independence Party55899
Conservative630627
Labour631625
Liberal Democrat631630


(for the curious, the English Democrats kept their deposit in Doncaster North; the Liberal Democrats kept all of theirs but I divided by zero in Thirsk; the Conservatives lost theirs in Na H-Eileanan An Iar and Glasgow East; Philip Lardner stood as an independent in Ayrshire North after being deselected from the Conservatives)
