Elected House of Lords - 2015 election

[jluk234]

I've been working on this for a while. The results are based on the constituency HofC results. Each Lords constituency are made up of 5 to 10 HofC constituencies. There are 90 in total and all elect 5 Lords. The collapse of the LD vote in 2015 would see roughly a tenth of their current number elected. I used the D'Hondt method which is used for the EU elections in the UK and it forms the basis for the system that elects the regional representatives in Scotland, Wales and London. 

Results

Con 193
Lab 159
UKIP 48
SNP 23
LDs 10
DUP 5
SF 5
UUP 2
SDLP 2
PC 2
APNI 1

Thank you. I started working on it between July 2016 and January 2017. However, I took some time off to focus on work. I restarted it last August and since then I've tried to do it during my spare time.

A brilliant, fascinating set of maps, but... nowhere in that initial blurb do you state which electoral system your elected upper house would use. Unless I've missed something?

Obviously a labour of love and probably about right for a system to elect an upper house (at least you have got away from the awful Euro-constituencies) and we should all commend the effort. The less convincing part of the exercise is the illustration of the "results" -partly overtaken by the passing of time , not to mention the passing of UKIP, plus I don't think you can factor in the way in which the electorate votes differently from how it would vote for the HoC on FPTP. If you invent a system which is less unfavourable to the smaller parties, more people should be prepared to vote for them.
