We have District Health Boards which are elected separately, because of course we do.

I believe that was Labour policy in Scotland at one point. There was a bit of a crisis when the Lib Dems agreed to it in 2003 instead of offering concessions for not doing it like they were expected to. But it all got sorted out in the end.

hang on is that why stv was introduced is this why we voted leave

The PCCs of New Zealand?

If we can trace back who came up with the Labour policy we can trace it back to an even more trivial event!

The PCCs of New Zealand?

They were introduced by Labour, so I am required to say that they were a fantastic idea.

 

[Uhura's Mazda]

how about new zealand first?

Here you go. A fairly simple demonstration that they are most successful in Maori electorates and the rural North Island, and least successful in central Wellington and Auckland.

Great work @Alex Richards . Have I misunderstood or are you missing the double little head on some but not all of the two-member wards for 2017?

I was adding them as I filled in results, so must have missed a few in the 2017 map. They'll get added eventually.

Managed to map the Kaiserreich-era constituencies to a map of Kreis-level subdivisions I had lying around, with a bit of help from IEG-Maps in places where reforms took place between 1867 and 1900 (which was surprisingly few places, all things considered). Accuracy varies depending on place, but as a general rule I feel it ought to be fairly accurate.

That's brilliant, especially as Berlin usually just gets done as a pie-chart.

Should be pointed out that Berlin is my eyeballed version from earlier - I have no clue what the seats there actually looked like except roughly what neighbourhoods each one contained.

That's astounding and very well made. Is there any sort of pattern besides the odd cluster of similar results beside each other?

Well, yes.

You can see the Catholic areas of Bavaria and the Rhineland in grey, the SPD stronghold of Saxony, the industrialized cities leaning to the SPD, as well as the Anti-Semites in Hesse and the Conservatives out East.

As well, the Minderheiten and Autonomist (in Alsace/Elsaß) areas correspond pretty well to the areas that were given to Poland, France and Denmark in Versailles.

Catholic areas vote Centre - obviously.

Rural Prussia votes for either one of the conservative parties, except where a majority are Poles (in which case they vote for the Polish Party) or German Catholics (in which case they vote Centre - obviously).

Upper Hesse votes for the anti-semites for reasons I can't quite fathom - it is where they got started, but other than that I've got nothing.

The National Liberals and the Progressives each maintain their historical strongholds, but I couldn't say if there are demographic factors at play - I'd say no.

Finally, of course, major cities and industrial areas vote SPD.

Surrey is now completed and uploaded.

I suspect the general election Theresa May has just called will take the wind out of the sails of this project, but here is a view of how far we've come so far.

How much mapping is there to actually prepare for that though?

And I'm doing this in the evening when we can't campaign so...

Speaking of, I have just started on Warwickshire. Unless Thande really wants to do it, I'll head north and do the 5 above the Liverhull gap next.

I have to say, if I was expecting a north-south split I wasn't expecting it to be Yorkshire Yorkshire 3000 doing the South and 1949 Home Service Announcer doing the North.

Oh please.

I'd be the Third Programme by that point.

Well, none of the best bits of Yorkshire have county councils.

Yes, that's the plan - you do the north, I'll do the South West after I finish the South East (we might end up doing the SW together).

I'm not sure what's going on here (Peter Wilson is ashamed of me!) but I like it!
