The calculator uses Universal National Swing, a fairly simple way of calculating seats which applies the national polling swing across all constituencies

Oh god please be tight so my MP actually does her job (I haven’t met a single person with a positive opinion of my MP, transcending party lines too in this case.
That being said, rather the useless MP I know than a Reform MP.

British politics is kind of interesting at the moment, it might be going through a once in a century realignment with the Conservative party – often described as the most successful political party in a democratic country in the world – becoming increasingly irrelevant and potentially being relegated to being one of the minor parties.

Submitted this last week but needed to make some fixes
I have a UK election seat calculator – I’ve added functionality to display constituencies based on margin:
Very tight (0-2%)
Tight (2-5%)
Close (5-8%)
The above image is based on the latest poll from UK pollster Find Out Now
Interestingly, 45.7% of GB seats are considered marginal here, illustrating the increasing competiveness of UK politics
Data: Publicly available polls, GE2024 Results from the House of Commons Library, ONS Constituency Boundary Data
Tools: GeoJson and D3 maps
