I thought there'd been a LibDem defect to Green in Shirley?

The maps are of the election results; you won't see any defections included in these maps unless they're re-elected under their new party (ie Middlesbrough's Park ward) and then it's not really showing a defection.

right, but I thought he was defending in May?

[Leftbehind]

You're right; this article suggests it should be:

Shirley West is 1Lab/1Grn/1Con and the Greens are defending in May.

[Die-hard Clockworkfan]

A Labour councillor in Shirley?  Shirley some mistake?

[Leftbehind]

Shirley West has seen a string of defections in the past year and is now represented by one Green Party Councillor, one Labour Councillor and one Conservative - seats that were held by Liberal Democrats last May.

whoa!

who's the light blue just south of Manc?

[Leftbehind]

Ratepayer for the Handforth ward in Cheshire East. There's also two wards in Fylde with Ratepayers which are harder to make out because they're striped/mixed representation.

Yorkshire & The Humber.

Excellent work, leftbehind.

Same - your recent maps have made things a lot easier for me, and been using your old maps to make sure those white wards are meant to be so!

West Mids:


Pink - Kidderminster Hospital & Health Concern
Turquoise - Moorlands Democratic Alliance, formerly Ratepayers.  

Note - the first UKIP that I've came across (the purple in York&Hum is SDP) - difficult to see in Staff. Moorlands just above the clear MDA wards as 2 Lab:1 UKIP representation in Leek North.

Nice, but you've switched Ecclesall and East Ecclesfield.

For F's sake, I had fixed that, but it seems only in one window - which the other with the fault in quickly overridden. Thanks for letting me know; fixed it.

I'll have to correct myself, they're English regions by ward on 2011 boundaries - he's answered a request for them, so unless you ask him for Scotland I don't think he'll do them.

Scotland 2007; by largest party in % vote.

Will be updated in less than a month

Nice.

East Midlands:

[Pilchard]

I know it's not the most interesting part of the world politically, but I had a go at uploading some seat result maps and party strength maps for Cambridgeshire 2009 and 2005 (as far back as the current boundaries go...) to wikipedia.

Hardly uninteresting though; nice work

Absolutely superb. Very, very impressive.


I think the map for Preston has one error on it .   Can you check Preston? That map has LibDems winning Ingol and Lea, which is not what happened?

[Leftbehind]

Yep, fixed. Good spot. Think I ended up flicking from multiple sources for Preston as the official results page has errors (notably a far-right England First candidate apparently winning a landslide in one ward - actually a duplicate of another ward's figures - could've been more), so that didn't help matters.

Start of a new series for West Yorkshire.  I'm hoping to get these out as soon as possible, given that I am busy this weekend with Gallipoli anniversary events, and then that will be it before the May elections.
