Beautiful maps, great job! Cheesy

I have to say, UK may be pretty close to the US in terms of population-density distortion. Even 1997 looks like a tie in area terms!

I'd be really interested to see one of these maps for 1945 (one of my favorite elections ever). Does anyone have the data for that year, or is it too far back?

Wow, it's impressive to see LibDem gains overshadowed Labour ones in such a sizable share of the country.

I assume this partly reflects the usual UK approach to calculating swing, which is to calculate it between the top two parties in any constituency, so that seats where the Tories and Lib Dems are the top two will be either yellow or blue even if there was a big increase in the Labour vote.

So what do you do when the top two parties change between two elections? For example, a seat which LibDems won both times, but with a Torie candidate coming second a 1992 but being supplanted by the Labour guy in 1997.

Does anyone have the map for 1945? It's one of the few I've never seen anywhere on this forum.

Oh, the beauty! Cheesy
