against them. . . you could be forgiven for thinking the tories won that election because they tend to

have these rules seats. whereas the labor seats, cluster around these densely populated urban areas and the southeast, the successes of the mid dens are magnified the pool these big whirl areas of northwest scotland, and the southwest of england. so what happens if we modify the map to give a more accurate reflection of what actually happened? this time we made each constituency the same size hexagon and you get some more realistic sense of what really went on. for its success are limited to the south, very little success in the north. just one seat in scotland. try to bring in a historical perspective to give you a real sense of that. let's go first of all to 79. that was the last time the

tories seized power from labor. very different picture. >> big prayers in scotland 30 years ago and quite a few tory seats in the northwest in your chair. truly national passing. >> 83 still blue, 87 still blue and that historic labor landslide bringing tony blair to power here, very different picture. >> hastings going labor, selfgate, labor and everett won or dreamed of it before that historic election. >> in 2005 the way we voted last time around, it is often said that this election will be fought and the won on a few small areas. i will show you how vulnerable

particular seats actually are. this is a patchwork map. it looks confusing but i will talk you through it. the dark blue and red, those represent the safest seats. look at the pale colors, this little primrose color for the s&p in scotland, slightly lighter green in wales. this gives you a sense of more vulnerable seats. we are going to look at labor in particular to give you a sense of one example. these risky pinks compared to the dark red, be safe seats and possibly the most interesting battleground seats. >> these of the seats the tories need to gain for an outright majority of the house of commons. the suburban seats and the south, a couple interesting speaks.

xs in the cultural secretary. two cabinet ministers could lose their seats to the conservancy's if they really do win an outright majority. >> a couple of key numbers for the election. if labor wants to stay in power they cannot lose more than 24 seats. the conservatives want to become the biggest party, they need to win 71 seats and if david cameron wants to head up a parliamentary majority he needs 11716 seats. that gives him a majority of two. it is a struggle for either of the main parties but we will be here on the night delving into that detail and the trends of the seats. you will be seeing a lot more of us. >> congress has created a financial crisis inquiry commission to investigate and report on the causes of the 2008 economic crisis. they will be looking into some prime lending and citigroup.
