Good theory. So Labour voters might have switched to the best anti-Tory candidate. And people who wanted to switch to vote Labour this time in fact voted for the best anti-Tory if that was not a Labour candidate. So many swing votes to Labour failed to materialise. That is a cool theory. That would mean there are constituencies where the Labour vote dropped by N and last year's 2nd place candidate won at least N more votes... woah. We need statisticians !
