Title: Electoral Map of Britain
Post by: Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon on May 09, 2005, 10:39:28 AM
This may have already been posted - but its new to me!

Its a flash-based, very informative, map of Britain that shows strength for the 3 parties in the 2001 and 2005 elections as well as turnout by constituency:

It's quite fun, but there's a couple of problems with the colour scheme; looking at the map you'd think the LD's had won Blaydon (where they were beaten pretty badly).

It's a map of the % majorities in England and Wales. If anyone has a good outline Scottish constituency map I can use, please gimme a link or something.

Note that the little diamonds in BG and also Burnley is the total Labour vote (Official + Independent).

Diamond thingies in BG and Burnley are as above. Again ignore the SDP thing in the key.

They win the most land because of sparsley populated constituencies like Penrith & Richmond (Yorkshire).
