But it is not certain that Labour will recapture all 12 seats they lost in the by-elections. Also, both Labour and Conservatives could make gains from the smaller parties; and in Northern Ireland split votes could cost the Tories seats. There are 60 Labour marginals. Fifty-five are seats which the Conserva- tives would win if there were a uniform swing across the country of 4.2 per cent. They are listed here with the size of the swing needed for the Con- servatives to win each of them. There are four more Labour seats where the swing needed to topple them is above 4.2 per cent, but where recent local elections show that the seat is vulnerable. And in Pembroke there could be a split vote.
