The One True And Accurate Guide To British Political Parties:

I should probably update it for the Coalition Age (in which We Are All In It Together: But Some Of Us Are More In It Than Others), but it's still fundamentally accurate.

On a slightly more serious note, the most important thing to remember about British politics is that (outside Scotland especially) the underlying patterns haven't altered all that much (and certainly less than in normal countries) for a very long time.

Anyone have any idea what fool coloured that map in?

Anyways, people should remember that 'even' 10% would still be a loss of a majority of support from 2010...

It was always students, West Country-ers and yes, academics and urban professionals. (Basically, (except for the West Country) people who were left-wing, but didn't wish to be seen as voting for a 'workers' party)

Academics? Not especially.

Either a rural Cymrophone Nonconformist, or a Labour supporter from a mining valley casting a protest vote against his party, or a middle class person from a polity dominated by Labour mining valleys casting a tactical vote.
In order of magnitude.

Or a middle class Welsh Speaker, especially in Gwynedd.

Those people are Nonconformists.
And, when viewed from the metropoles, rural even if they live in Bangor or Caernarfon.
