For the Scotsman draining a bit of the Scot out of him to make him more fungible:

US: CA-47 The overall more upscale part of Long Beach with some exceptions, with a rather heavy Asian more Pub friendly non Long Beach salient in Orange County, PVI maybe 6% Dem, but a Pub who endorses gay marriage, representing as a councilman the upscale parts of Long Beach (also heavily gay), is in the hunt for pulling a rabbit out of the hat in 2012.

UK: Some somewhat upscale but not too much white collar inner city as possible constituency, preferable with a red brick university and a gay friendly hood around, that is lean not Tory, but winnable by a Tory. Edgberton, Birmingham, England?  Sure I made a hash of the constituency name.

Canada: Some inner Toronto hood like my hypothetical Birmingham one.

Probably some Democratic safe district in New England.  I don't know.

For the other countries, don't know.

Danforth is made of middle-class immigrants and condos, not only working-class. Without the NDP leader running it in, it would probably be still Liberal.
The poorest riding in Canada is Vancouver-East, for next posters.
