REGIONAL BREAKDOWN

East Midlands

While they have fallen back slightly in line with the national trend, the East Midlands remains the best performing area for the Conservative party. The swing of over thirteen percent would easily be enough for the party to win their target marginals, mainly market towns and the M1 corridor, and if repeated across the region would also see urban seats like Nottingham East, Leicester West and Geoff Hoon’s Ashfield fall to the Conservatives.

Seat-by-seat prediction

13.4% swing to the Conservatives
