December 28, 20195 yr Quite an interesting graph looking at how the sat distribution of parties matches up to where football teams in England are within the Football League system. As expected as a result of the "Great Realignment", the majority of teams in the Premier League & Championship are located in places where Labour won the seat, whilst the further down the league system you go, the more Conservative-leaning areas you find. Also interesting to note that the only football team in the top 5 leagues that has a Lib Dem MP is AFC Wimbledon - @1208000438923956225

January 1, 20205 yr Maps show how 'youthquake' would have won Election for Labour if 18 to 24-year-olds had been only voters - while Tories would have been even bigger winners if over-65s were the only ones to go to the polls... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-78...lds-voters.html Lots of interesting stuff, illustrating the growing age divide. Or if you can't bring yourself to click on a Mail link, here's one for the source... https://twitter.com/electionmapsuk?lang=en
January 1, 20205 yr The biggest surprise there is that there are as many as 4 seats where the Tories won the 18-24 vote. (DUP with 2 more seats than the Tories though... lol x) Labour retaining the same tiny red splodge in Scotland in both of these hypothetical maps as well :lol: edit: actually I was looking at the 50-64 map, it appears on the 65+ map Labour would have actually got a second seat in Scotland.

January 4, 20205 yr The biggest Labour > Tory swing was in the Alabama of England which is Bassetlaw, right.
January 14, 20205 yr The biggest Labour > Tory swing was in the Alabama of England which is Bassetlaw, right. I've been checking the figures, and in only 16 seats that the Tories gained was the Brexit vote higher than their margin of victory, so they'd still have had a majority of 48. And a bit of fantasy psephology : if ~27,300 people had voted for the runners-up instead of the Tories in their closest wins, they would not have had a HoC majority...
January 14, 20205 yr Oh my GOD at the bill making its rounds. It proposes to change referenda to needing a 60% majority. FINE. BUT WHERE EAS THIS FOR BREXSHIT?! They know they have lost any majority now, and ehilst a simple majority did for them, it simply will not do for Scottish independence and to overturn their evil brexshit eh!
