4. In Hampshire, they've basically gone back to the pre-2010 constituencies

Not surprising, because they needed to abolish 1 seat, so they got rid of the one they'd created then (Meon Valley, which was a bit of a "the bit in the middle made up of small towns and villages on the edge of elsewhere" seat). My town moves back to Romsey/Test Valley, which was Lib Dem before, but I expect will be Tory this time, unless there's a big backlash against them if they screw Brexit up (though what town and rural Hampshire would consider 'screwed up', I can't say yet).
