South: Majority Sorted Seats

This page shows all the seats in South sorted by the predicted difference between Labour and Conservative votes. The safest Labour seat, Slough, is at the top, and the strongest Conservative seat, Surrey South West, 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 Reading West (prediction: CON), and the Conservatives need to win all their seats up to Southampton Itchen (prediction: LAB).

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