What's with the negative sign on the numbers of seat changes?

@AlanTennant Negative if Labour loses seats overall

sold Ṁ29 YES

@Tetraspace ok, we can do it like that, I would have assumed "change" was unsigned.

At the start of April there are about 20,000 seats, around 5,850 are Labour, that's about 28% of the seats.
