The swingometer is a graphics device that shows the effects of the swing from one party to another on British election results television programmes. It is used to estimate the number of seats that will be won by different parties, given a particular national swing (in percentage points) in the vote towards or away from a given party, and assuming that that percentage change in the vote will apply in each constituency.
