How would the map look like for each election:

Note: The economic conditions in the US are what they were in each of these election year in the UK along with the incumbent pm having around the same popularity levels nationally . Also do each of these elections separately .

Here's what I say:


1979:



Thatcher 323
Callaghan 215


1983:



Thatcher 502
Foot 36


1987:



Thatcher 337
Kinnock 201


1992:



Kinnock 273
Major 265


1997:



Blair 483
Major 55

2001:



Blair 506
Hague 32


2005:



Howard 255
Blair 243
Kennedy 40

2010:



Cameron 336
Brown 199
Clegg 3


2015:



2017:



May 454
Corbyn 84



The main difference is that unlike the Republicans , the Tories dont alienate themselves in the west coast so while the west coast is still lean labour it is not safe democratic like here. Also unlike the Democrats , Labour doenst alienate them selves in Appalachia and much of the south , and actually Appalachia is lean Labour and the South can go to Labour in landslides

So Clegg's party loses electoral votes on a massive, massive scale while going up one percent in the popular vote?

Yes, b/c the Conservatives increased their vote share by 3.7% in 2010, moreso than the Lib Dems' 1% increase

Yes, but proportionally it rose near-equally, and certainly not enough to cause a LD collapse.

most of those states they lost in 2010 were cause in 2005 they were anti war states. In 2010 those voters pretty much return to Labour or flip to torie(in rare case) . In 2010 Lib dem vote is more spread out while in 2005 it was pretty much an anti war vote.
