Swing
Hi Liamdaniel981. How is swing calculated? Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:47, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Perhaps someone else could answer this? The relevant template, I think, is this one: Template:Election box hold with party link, which in turn links to Swing (politics), where the example given is as follows:
 * Labor Party 51% (this year) less Labor Party 41% (four years ago) means the Labor Party saw a swing of 10 points (this implies in their favour and can also be published as +10 points)..
 * So I thought the swing here this time was simply 15.8 - 12.1 = -3.7. Many thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:54, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
