It predicts the new members elected to "super-seat" constituencies and through the top-up list system, which gives London-wide seats to parties according to share of vote.

James Cleverly (C): Potentially Tories' first black Assembly member, the magazine publisher and A-list Tory parliamentary candidate - he stood in Lewisham in 2005 - also has good chance of becoming Boris Johnson race adviser if he wins.
Kit Malthouse (C): Former deputy leader of Westminster has been chosen to succeed Angie Bray who is running for MP. Praised for scrutinising homes-for-votes scandal and recovered £12.3 million of taxpayers' money.
Caroline Pidgeon (LD): Currently Southwark council, she is expected to lose out on a seat in the " superconstituency" of Lambeth and Southwark but get a top-up seat.
ON THEIR WAY OUT
Bob Neil (C): Has become an MP. Mr Neil came under constant fire while an Assembly members for his taxi bills - last year topping £4,000.
Damian Hockney (One London): Elected as a member of Ukip, but founded One London in 2005. Stood as mayoral candidate before withdrawing.
Sally Hamwee (LD): Former chair of Assembly, Baroness Hamwee played crucial part in scrutiny of Livingstone in regard to Lee Jasper allegations. Retiring to concentrate on seat in Lords.
