The southern suburbs of Seattle (Kent, Auburn, Des Moines, and even Tacoma) feel very conservative, albeit a libertarian flavor of conservative. Yet looking at precinct maps from the 2012 election, all of them voted 60%+ for Obama.
And in most other democracies, wealthy suburban and yuppie-urban areas surely would be conservative or pro-market-liberal. The Modern GOP have basically committed suicide among that demographic, which they used to win by a landslide in the 80s.
For me, there's a few British areas that are with the wrong party.
Wolverhampton South-West should be an ultra safe Tory seat, given it's contains the stereotypical moneyed Suburbia of Tettenhall and Penn, and certainly does vote that way. But half the seat if the City centre, and Whitmore Reans, which helps explain why Paul Uppal lost the seat this year, against the national trend.
Also, the Powys seats would be quite safely Tory if in England, rather than Tory-LibDem marginals (though they are quite clearly trending that way).
Also Ceredigion and Meirionydd would surely have higher Tory votes (though I can see with their universities and seasonal deprivation how they would be won, like Cornwall, by a radical liberal).
On the flipside, If i had to guess I would say that Walsall, particularly Willenhall & Bloxwich , ad outside Aldridge, Pelsall and Great Barr, of would be much more Labour than it is.
Obviously, there's also Southern Essex, which could be, and used to be, very Labour, and Rural Scotland which used be monolithically, even as late as 1983, Tory.
