2015 United Kingdom general election in England leading to the resignation of its leader Nigel Farage. The Green party increased its share of the vote and held Brighton Pavilion but also failed to make any gains. The recorded swing in each case is calculated as two-way swing from the party that won in 2010 to the party targeting the seat. Negative swing implies that the targeting party lost votes to the incumbent party. Swing for the Greens is measured as one-party swing, i.e. the change in the party's share of the vote. 2015 United Kingdom general election in England The 2015 United Kingdom general election in England
