2015 election result

Wasn't the 2015 General Election for Clacton a hold for UKIP? The infobox says it was a gain from the Conservatives. (I'm a Yankee so maybe I'm missing something in how British elections work?) Foreignshore (talk) 04:58, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, it should say held, the swings are not correct either.Halbared (talk) 12:02, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was a UKIP gain. Election results are always compared like-for-like, so by-election results are sort of discarded. doktorb _words^deeds 18:52, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
