This was a lot of fun to make! Please watch/read our new post-election analysis of the UK GE.

In short, the Liberal Democrats benefited from tactical voting when they were the main anti-Tory option!

@NeilRob97789644 @WillHayCardiff North Wales may benefit in some secondary way from a line in Crewe, but none of those benefits are direct. Instead, that HS2 money would be much better spent in North Wales on the line between Llandudno and Wrexham so that there isn't only one train an hour out to Chester!

We've had a look at support for @reformparty_uk and the potential impact of @Nigel_Farage's return.

We find that there are a lot of similarities to UKIP in 2015!

@LeftieStats @axiochrono @Dylan_Difford @BESResearch Our analysis suggests that there was extensive tactical voting at this election, with the Liberal Democrats being huge beneficiaries when they were the main competition to the Conservatives.

Not big on being like "woo look at how boss I am" but I suppose this is meant to be shared. I got a lovely write-up from those that nominated me for the Doctoral College Excellence Award I ended up winning.
