The Conservatives and Labour both held on to around nine-tenths of their 2015 vote. However, only half of 2015 Liberal Democrat voters stuck with the party this time (30% went to Labour, 15% to the Conservatives), while six in ten UKIP voters from 2015 switched to Theresa May’s party (only two in ten voted UKIP again).
