It's Russian Roulette: Seat by Seat statistics for LibDems over Labour and Conservatives

US political statistics site Five Thirty Eight has taken a look at the 42 Labour seats and 40 Conservative seats that Liberal Democrats are targeting.

Five Thirty Eight’s verdict;

If the swing manifests in marginal consituencies where the Lib Dems have an existing base of support upon which to build, they could pick up quite a number of seats. However, if the swing simply pulls away support from one of the larger parties in seats where the Lib Dems have no real shot of victory, the upshot will be for the Tories or Labour.

Translation: Russian Roulette
