1% swing will end Labour's majority

That's the view of an analysis of the finalised boundary changes in today's Times.  If the new boundary changes had been in force at last year's General Election, "Labour’s 64-seat victory would have dropped to 44 with several more seats too close to call, The Times has learnt". "However," The Times continues, "the Tories will still need a swing of 9 or 10 per cent (down from 11 per cent) to win an outright majority, meaning that the parties may have to fight for Liberal Democrat support to be able to govern after the next poll."  The opposition of Tory grassroots to co-operation with the LibDems was recently examined in a ConservativeHome poll.
