10. Best to look closely on a case by case basis

Lots of different trends emerging from the election.

It all changed massively when the Tories brought out their manifesto. That was the moment the Tories started to lose out thanks to policies like the dementia tax that hit their most important block vote, namely the elderly.

Basically the Tories went for a landslide but ran a terrible campaign which cost them an overall majority.
