I found the map interesting which had 419 so-called "constituencies" in which the votes were counted, and which had big variations in electorates. Is it possible to squidge the map to make the areas proportional to the number of votes cast (like in the other thread)? It would help with showing what the result was really like.

The constituencies don't each elect one person though, it's still a nationwide party list system. The constituencies are just counting blocks who send their results to add to the national total. And I suppose it also allows us psephologists to have a look at the localised voting patterns.  |

But the point of squidging the map would be the same - to show the geographical spread of support for the top parties in some relation to the number of voters in each area, rather than the area of land. |

Does anyone know why the results for the prediction game on Election Game have not been sent out?

Yes. Paul Maggs tells me that he is very busy at work at the moment, also, he has had to calculate the effects of the 'trading' on leaders and finance in The Election Game.
He is not waiting for the outcome of the Dutch coalition negotiations.
I would expect updates around the time he publishes the US presidential round of the game.

Somewhat bizarre goings on in recent times in the wake of the last elections.
50Plus have split in two and sit as two different factions in both houses.
Meanwhile,the Tweede Kamer has 3 former PVV members sitting in two separate groups. The larger of the two ( by a margin of,well,one) has formed a new party called Voor Nederland. This is sure to be as successful as Rita Verdonk or more likely even less successful.
