The model assumes that the total number of votes cast does not change, that the votes given to all other parties do not change, and that the proportion that a given party achieves in one constituency compared to another doesn’t change.

This isn't quite "straight swing" - uniform swing is mathematically messy with lots of irritating discontinuities. However, I don't suppose it gives radically different results.
