Is this Conservative victory a one-hit Brexit wonder?
Having won over Labour leave voters, the question is whether the Tories can keep them
It is an election that has, in many ways, left the country deeply divided, most obviously between big city and large town, between England and Wales on the one hand, and Scotland and to a lesser extent Northern Ireland on the other.
The final swing from Labour to Conservative is around 4.6%, not quite as dramatic as Margaret Thatcher’s win in 1979 (5.2%) or even David Cameron’s in 2010 (5%) – and certainly nothing like Tony Blair’s win for Labour in 1997 (10%).
