The real southerners live up north.

yes, I'm aware of that. I was wondering if anyone had done a parish by parish match up.

25 years ago, when I was doing a lot of touring in western Canada, whenever we hit a patch of bad road we'd shout "NDP riding!" (The New Democratic Party was the 'socialist' opposition party at the time. The governing Social Credit Party were, despite the 'social' in their name, slightly to the right of Attila the Hun).

Finally someone thought to bring along an electoral map on the next tour. Sure enough, we'd be sailing along on a nicely paved highway, then suddenly it would deteriorate into a cracked, potholed mess, and, according to the map, we'd just entered a district that had voted the 'wrong' way.
