US With British Parties

[You kip if you want to...]

If anything, California votes like Northeast England.

lolno

And Alabama votes like the Home Counties.

[You kip if you want to...]

If Alabama was in the UK, I'd struggle to see it voting Tory, although Alabama is quite unique to the US. I could see it voting Plaid or SNP, should they be in Wales or Scotland, but then again... I'm not that great on Welsh and Scottish politics.

Would Alabama otherwise be a Labor stronghold in your book?

Not quite, but it wouldn't exactly vote for a Hague or a Major as listed here either...

I think Labor would be the second party in Alabama, and make a good showing in the New Labor years, but the Tories would likely still won comfortable victories in those years. Unless you think Labor would win in those years courtesy of vote splitting between the Tories, the ANP and an emerging USIP?

I really can't put my finger on it. I'm thinking of socially conservative, poor areas like the North-East of England, but the economics there just doesn't fit. Alabamans certainly aren't on the left in terms of their money.

Here are my guesses at parties winning each election
1945: Labour
1950: Labour
1951: Conservative
1955: Conservative
1959: Conservative
1964: Labour/Liberal Dem coalition results in the end of segregation
1966: Conservative
February 1974: Liberal Democrat minority government(Labour and Liberal Dems didn't have enough to form their own coalition, neither did Conservatives with USIP).
October 1974: Conservative
1979: Conservative
--- Labour is dead only elected in maybe 20 seats(Coal mining and a few minority majority areas that are especially poor and black, Hispanics vote Lib Dem), Reagan is elected Lib Dems become the second largest party.
1983: Conservative, almost 500 seats
1987: Conservative
1992: Lib Dem & Labour Coalition
1997: Conservative
2001: Conservative
2005: Lib Dem
2010: Conservative

Edit: Gave Lib dems a few months of government to prevent 30 year one party rule.

Blair Labour would've found great success in the States, surely.

I think a lot of these are wrong, you must remember the Southern states vote on social policy not economic otherwise Dems would still be strong, and consider Labor and Conservative have basically the same social values I think many of these predictions are off.

Do they?
