I wonder whether the swing was as simple as it looks if if there was significant throughput so-to-speak with UKIP.

The vote share changes for LD and Green are incorrect . There was a Green candidate but no LD candidate in May ( the reverse in 2014 )

[Robert Waller]

Exton, I believe, Barnaby.

On the possibly incorrect assumption maxque is getting the figures from Britain Elects, they're using the change from the last time that particular seat was fought, not the last election in the Ward.

No, I calculate it myself, I just had put the Green result of 2015 in the LD column. My bad.

[maxque]

LD gain in Hellingly.
