I'd like to think that the Tories are more Southern representative while Liberals are more representative of New England but it is hard to say because we're dealing with different countries. Determining which party would be abolitionist and which party would be secessionist essentially determines which politicians would fall where.
 
Saying that Liberals would be the party of racism, the Confederacy and the like just turns them into the Democrats and makes for a boring exercise. Tongue

I'm going to say the Liberal and Conservatives bases are the same as the republican and democratic except that Jews vote con instead of the liberals.

Jews don't vote Liberal as reliably as they once used to, but it was just twelve years ago that the Liberal candidate received over 90% of the vote in Mount Royal.

Yes, people have a weird habit of forgetting that the Liberal collapse with other minority groups that once formed their base has been almost as spectacular as that one. Franco Ontarians, for example.

It's best to compare to our party system in the year 2000 than current.

Back then, most Republicans would be Alliance and most Democrats would be Liberals. The Left-Demcorats (like Sanders, Dean, Obama even maybe) would be NDP, while the Right-Democrats and Left-Republicans would be PC.

However none of that would matter. We don't focus on personality like you guys do. People like Bachman, Franken, Paul, Cain, would all be "backbenchbers" - congressmen you never hear about.
