Do the LD's have much prospect of ever coming back in their traditional stronghold of the west country? What do you guys think? Will Scotland vote again on its final exit during Cameron's term? Does anyone see Scotland as part of the UK ten years' hence? The England map looks more and more like the US map - the left party has lots of seats that you have trouble seeing on the map without a zooming in, and not too much outside it (except up in the far north of England). Is that trend likely to continue? I wonder if Labour will over time continue to hold its more rural northern constituencies.
Interesting observation re England and Labour. Have they mirrored the US Dems to be more an urban party than a labor party? Does the English north fit with that model (I'm thinking about rural New England/Upper Mississippi MN-WI-IA)?
