The Second Seat has an 11.6% Swing
Even more interesting!
Both the first two seats in Sunderland were safe Labour seats, where it would be expected that the swing would be less than the national average, which has been predicted to be 5.5%. This is because Cameron has flagged up that there will be government job losses in the North East.
The First Seat has an 8.4% Swing
Interesting.
The swing to the Tories was higher than expected, but my old school colleague Peter Kellner, said it could be due to a new candidate. The Lib-Dems were down a bit and thankfully so were the BNP.
Does anybody know that Peter was a very good fast bowler at school?
