Tough one this as it involves a different mindset...and probably a decision on whether to have a major 3rd party. Green here represents the LibDems

2005 (I doubt holding it in 2004 would have made much of a difference)

Party leaders at the time

Labour - Tony Blair
Conservatives - Michael Howard
Liberal Democrats - Charles Kennedy




If an election was held in November 2008

Labour - Gordon Brown
Conservative- David Cameron
Liberal Democrat - Nick Clegg



I'm sure someone can do far far better Smiley It's just to prompt disussion Tongue

If the present trend in the UK continues until the next election, I see no reason why the Conservatives under the leadership of David Cameron would not win the election, something along the lines of your 2008 map.

Although I believe the southern states you show in red would be more for the Conservatives than for Labour, while Maine, Connecticuit, and Pennsylvania would be more for Labour than for the Conservatives.

Interesting Scenario, but I feel a few problems with the map. Minnesota would probably be for Labor, and I feel you should switch Virginia and SC. Massachusetts would probably be a Labor Stronghold, but I do agree California would be Liberal Democrat.
