It has been done before- so I doubt I would have the time or patience to do a nationwide one- but here we have 3 counties (at random of course Wink and the strength of the 3 main parties - Labour in red, the Tories in blue and the LibDems in green (green chosen deliberately in mixing the 3 colours) I may look back to older election results and do the same



Any other requests Smiley

Yes it is; but only at that sort of level. You'd go insane if you tried to do it nationally. One problem you have is that the LibDem colour is yellow (City of Durham looks to be a LibDem seat on the map) o/c.

Yes- Durham looks too golden- but apart from that it is good. Darlington is red, but there is a slight hit of purple, sowing the Tories distant presence. As for nationwide in Scotland and Wales it is a no no.

Also, if it is a three way marginal, the resulting colour is grey.

I take it given that the City of Durham is a Labour seat with the Lib Dems snapping at Labour's heels, that its colour is a greenish-red

I can't imagine who lives in Oxfordshire.

The Con-Lab vote in Banbury is very similar to the LD-Con vote in Oxwab, though from the way it appears on my screen, I'd say that Oxwab doesn't have as strong a tint of blue as Labour has of red. I would however say that the Wantage tint is spot on.

Yes, but perhaps with the following question:

In 2005, was there a national swing from Lab to Con or from Lab to Lib Dem?
