A bigger swing than ever before
Why do news organisations, and in particularly the BBC, think that it is relevant or interesting that the Tories need the largest swing since whenever to get a majority? It's not as if the 2005 votes are bought out of storage and put in the ballot boxes and then the election is about trying to add to them or remove them. Each election is essentially a blank slate. In any case political trends have got more volatile (partly because of third parties and similarly I guess because of less attachment to the main parties).
