    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The next general election in the UK will be fought across 650 new constituencies after boundary changes were approved by parliament.

    The research offers people an idea of which parties are competitive in their new constituency, allowing them to consider options for tactical voting.

    Seventy-six seats, including for example Clacton, have been extended beyond their current boundaries to ensure they meet the minimum electoral threshold.

    Calculations for Scotland by Prof David Denver and those for Northern Ireland by Nicholas Whyte.

    They analysis shows that, were the last election fought on the new constituency boundaries, the Conservative majority would be 14 seats bigger.

    It also reveals that that the swing to Labour required for the party to achieve an overall majority increases by 0.7 percentage points from 12.0 to 12.7.
