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

Image source, Dr Sam Power, University of SussexThe 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.
