I'm interested to see what you all from the USA think would have happened?

For reference if you don't know British politics:
-Britain is a lot less rural than America and the places that are very remote are hardly very good for the Tories.
-The Tories strongholds tend to be in wealthy somewhat snobby/elitist suburbs and I imagine they would at least win Manhattan's upper east side as the direct comparisons in London are solidly Conservative.
-The Tories do horribly in anywhere that there is mining heritage unless there has been substantial redevelopment of middle class housing (middle class in Britain meaning comfortably off)
-Labour is the party of the public sector classes. The Tories seem to hate the public sector with a passion and are constantly trying to slash their job/freeze their pay.
-Middle class minorities are relatively Tory friendly and I imagine people like Nene Leakes and Wendy Williams would probably vote Tory.
-Labour does tend to do much better amongst the rural/remote working classes than the Democrats do.
-Oh and social conservatism and religion are side-lined. The Tories would at least play lip service to Black Lives Matter (several of their up and coming stars are black/ethnic minority).

Let me know what you think Smiley.
