If you dont recognise the swing figures in the by elections, there are numerous methods to work out the previous result in 2010, when three candidates stood for each party. I have taken the votes in order of which councillor the by election replaces, so in East Finchley, Andrew McNeil was second of the three councillors, and the other candidates I worked percentages for were those who came second for their parties in 2010. The same applies for Brunswick Park.
