Excellent stuff Al. Any chance for some stuff on Scotland and Cornwall during this time period?

(Of course this calls for a similar thread on France!)

Ah, well, this sort of thing is a bit harder to come by for France, now, isn't it?

Of course, such a thread for France would cover a vaster period, like 1871 to 2010.

Do you mean random statistics, maps-and-stuff or both? The answer is "yes" to all of the above, of course.

Mostly maps and some random statistics (which aren't too obscure). All's good, both ways.

Trugarez Al. I know Cornwall votes LibDem to this day partly because of Liberal tradition, but what was the original cause way back when of this Liberal tradition? Celtic fringe opposition to the English-Anglican Tories? Local dynasties allied with the Liberals?

It's a good testament to Labour power in the coal mining regions of South Wales that the 1931 map doesn't look that different to other maps. I'm slightly surprised that Labour held Pontypool even in 1931.

Fascinating map! What explains the Liberal support in Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire and those parts of Lancashire and the West Riding? Not knowing anything about the time period or elections/politics back then, I'm also surprised to see Birmingham so solidly Tory.
