In the 2017 local election the Conservatives benefited significantly from the support of large numbers of ex-UKIP voters, and this seemed to bode well for the upcoming general election. However on 8th June, the Conservatives failed to receive as strong a boost from UKIP as they expected, and failed to win a majority. For this I've decided to increase the UKIP to Conservative effect, by taking 50% of the actual UKIP vote in each seat and transferring it to the Conservatives. In the vast majority of seats it wasn't enough to change anything, but overall it would result in a very narrow majority for the Conservatives, if only due to Sinn Fein's abstentionism. Map only covers GB, NI is included in overall results below.
