Conservative targets seats from Labour #GE2017

What does "double incumbency" mean?

There is a noticeable 'incumbency effect' whereby a sitting MP gets additional votes (from having supported local non-partisan campaigns, helped people in surgery cases, and just been known in the area). So if the incumbent MP changes, then the previous MP loses their incumbency bonus while the incoming one gains it - hence the 'double incumbency'. It means seats that changed hands tend to show a relative move towards the party which gained them and are resistant to changing back at the next election.

  1. Lindsay Hoyle has long been favourite to succeed John Bercow as Speaker even if he had to wait till 2020. However we have a General Election now and I expect him not to returned as MP for Chorley.

  2. UKIP who are obviously going to lose Clacton their only seat from GE2015, may have a hope in Hartlepool if UKIP vote holds or declines less than Labour vote declines. This is a 3 way marginal Lab/Con/UKIP for GE2017.

  3. UKIP without Farage are nothing to be honest, with Brexit already won, I can see it being difficult for the party to even put up the numbers of candidates they did last time. Hartlepool I presume has a strong branch, so will poll the highest even higher than Clacton I presume. But UKIP will disappear after this election.

    It is how bad will it be for Labour and how many seats the Lib Dems could get back themselves.

    I think the only folks that will be swinging, is UKIP voters to the Conservatives and a few remainers and disgruntled Labour supporters going to the Lib Dems but after tution fees, I hear only I will never vote Libdem from where I live. I can actually see the greens gaining Bristol West and probably challenging in a few others and PC going to 4 or 5 in Wales with the SNPs only threat coming from the pro unionist Conservatives.
