British General Election constituency maps 1955-2001 (New)

One thing to note about the 1983 campaign: There was a big swing from Labour to the Alliance in the last two weeks or so, which probably allowed the Tories to win a bigger majority than they otherwise would have done. Oh, and isn't it interesting that the Labour and Alliance vote shares weren't all that different to the 2010 Labour and Lib Dem vote shares?

Someone has been kind enough to upload every election night programme from 1974-2010 in full on YouTube (and someone else has uploaded the 1970 programme too), so everytime a map is posted I'll link to the relevent playlist (that's if Al doesn't mind).

Election Night 1983.

Probably the most accurate exit poll of all time?!

(Oh, and there are also shorter videos of the 1955, 1959, 1964 and 1966 election nights IIRC, so I'll post those too.)
