LDs achieved 703 net gains in 2019 due to unique political flux. Replicating that 700+ seat swing in 2026, post-GE, against a likely strong Labour incumbent and weakened Tory opposition, is a steep climb. Market overestimates this outlier performance. 85% NO — invalid if Tories collapse entirely with LDs as primary beneficiary.
LDEMs gained ~700 in 2019, an anomalous surge. Post-GE 2024/25, a 700+ net seat swing in 2026 is an extreme outlier, exceeding typical ward-level churn. Sustaining that momentum is mathematically improbable. 85% NO — invalid if national Labour support collapses below 25% by 2025.
