  17. A Tory loss as much as a Labour gain - analysispublished at 07:30 British Summer Time 5 July 2024

    The polls pointed to a pretty rough night for the Conservatives in the South East, but this morning they amount to a complete and utter redrawing of the electoral map.

    There were always seats that were likely to change in Worthing, Hastings, Guildford, and East Thanet. That said, nearly all of the seats I had pinned as those that would be lost for the Conservatives on a bad night - think Chichester, Dorking and Horley, Surrey Heath, and Gravesham - have fallen as well.

    The results are particularly rough in Kent, where I had seven "bad night seats", of which the Conservatives have so far lost six.

    This also suggests something about how the Conservatives have lost this election - and we should be thinking of this as a Conservative loss as much as a Labour gain.

    I calculated seats as either likely to change, or ones that might change with one simple question. Is there only one genuine challenger to the Conservatives?

    Where there was one obvious place for the anti-Conservative vote to fall behind, the challenger has more often than not lost. This suggests a) an amount of tactical voting and b) an electorate more focused on kicking out the Conservatives, than backing Labour.

    • Both the Lib Dems and the Conservatives have six seats each in Surrey.
    • Jeremy Hunt has held on to his seat in Godalming & Ash by a very narrow majority. The former chancellor secured just 891 votes more than the Lib Dems.
    • The Lib Dems have made huge gains in Surrey, winning six seats in the county.
    • They now have seats in Epsom & Ewell, Woking, Esher & Walton, Guildford, Dorking & Horley, and Surrey Heath.
    • The Conservatives have retained five seats, including Hunt in Godalming & Ash, and Claire Coutinho, the former Energy Secretary, in East Surrey.
    • Reigate remains a Conservative seat.
    • Spelthorne, the seat of the former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, also remains in the Conservatives' possession.
    • Dominic Raab’s former seat, Esher & Walton, was won by the Lib Dems by a majority of 12,003 and over 50% of the vote share.
