If you look at a map of where the seats fall, Scotland is Scotland, Ireland is Ireland, and England and Wales are mostly Tory except for poor areas across the north, central London and depressed areas of Wales who voted Labour.
The spread looks pretty identical to most of the gilded age elections where either Disraeli or Lord Salisbury led the Tories against a Liberal opposition.



The take home from this election though it what's not been highly publicised. Boris Johnson has won the seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip and will not be contesting the London Mayoral election on 7th May 2016.
I fully expect that David Cameron who was already making noises about not wanting to lead the party will resign by about that time and Johnson will be made PM, virtually unopposed by the Tory caucus.

Boris Johnson - PM: May 10 2016
