I am wanting to switch over my switches (see attached images) but i am unsure of where to put the lives and neutrals.
the white switch (on the left) and the silver switch (on the right)
the white one is the existing fixture and the silver one is the new fixture, please can i be helped on how to wire the new (silver) switch up? i have also attached a diagram of the wiring as it was when i took the white socket off.

or will i need to order a different style of switch? the one i ordered was a single gang 2 way light switch
