Election Map updated!
May 7th, 2005After last night’s marathon session in front of the television, I spent today experimenting with some screenscraping - et voila! The UK Election Map has been updated with the 2005 results, allowing you to make comparisons between the 2001 and 2005 elections.
The above picture shows Merseyside & North Wales, and the loss of votes in core Labour seats to the Lib Dems (as the seats have become more orange and yellow), and the Tory gains in marginal seats (which have become less pink and more purple/blue). Please report any errors (done in a bit of a hurry). Do note that the election in Staffordshire South will be run next month following the death of a candidate and so the constituency is blank at the moment.

Assuming it’s lragely reliable, your PR map of the UK is absolutely facinating - you should get this in front of the people in any way you can. One small error, the East Hampshire turn-out figure made me fall off my chair (>90%!) Keep up the great work.

Oh dear, there are some slightly over-egged turnout figures (peculiarly, mostly for constituencies beginning with ‘S’), but I think I’ve fixed them now (clearing the cache & reloading the map may be required to see the proper figures).
