How eight seats could define the general election

The Telegraph  

The Conservatives’ main aim come the election will be to hold onto the seats that they already have, rather than make significant gains from Labour or other parties, says Lord Hayward. Labour will lose two seats owing to the changes before voting even takes place, with the SNP forfeiting three and Plaid Cymru, the Welsh nationalist party, dropping two of its four. It is currently represented by Andy Carter, but the constituency as it is now drawn ahead of the election would have voted Labour, according to the data compiled by professors Rallings and Thrasher. It would take a local swing of just 0.06 percentage points for the Tories to keep Warrington South, the same figures suggest.
