Notes: The forecast base was the 2010 General Election. A Uniform National Swing method was used (UK-Elect supports several alternatives), and the percentages were applied to UK constituencies. Tactical voting was set to 0% (i.e. disabled). No attempt was made to apply more accurate Scottish or Welsh poll percentages to the forecasting of constituencies in those areas (hence the forecasting of Nationalist gains or losses is likely to be less accurate). Results from Northern Ireland are based on those of the last election and included for completeness only.
