West Midlands: Majority Sorted Seats

This page shows all the seats in West Midlands sorted by the predicted difference between Labour and Conservative votes. The safest Labour seat, Birmingham Ladywood, is at the top, and the strongest Conservative seat, Aldridge-Brownhills, is at the bottom. The first two columns, 'Lab Seats' and 'Con Seats', show how many seats each big party wins if they won that seat and all easier seats, assuming the other smaller parties' votes stay constant. Either big party needs 326 seats to have a majority. So Labour needs to win all the seats down to Stourbridge (prediction: CON), and the Conservatives need to win all their seats up to Walsall North (prediction: LAB).

The seats between those two limits are the key battleground for the next general election.
