Lee is a supporter of Scottish independence? I find nothing whatsoever to imply that, but then there'd nothing to imply he took 'a hell of a beating' either, so maybe the reference is to some obscure fringe candidate? More interesting: when you click through presidential maps on wikipedia, the pattern of the conservatives winning Seoul and the democrats the rest of the northwest (however narrowly) is a completely new one. When these areas have split before it was always the other way round. |

I original expectation was that Seoul and its suburbs would cancel each other out, but expected the right to narrowly win the Suburbs and narrowly lose the city. |

Who made that bar chart, the Liberal Democrats? it's well confusing. Either the three candidates are neck and neck, or somehow the difference between 48% and 47% is the same as the difference between 48% and 2%. |

Which still leaves the question why the 3rd place candidate is listed at all. |

Which still leaves the question why the 3rd place candidate is listed at all. Which is what makes it confusing. They've presented it in the layout that is used for a bar chart, with all the explicit "barchart"yness screaming out that it's a bar chart.... but it isn't.
If it's a legend, then *all* the coloured bars MUST be the same size. Otherwise it is screaming out that the size of the coloured bar indicates something, and sizes of visual elements indicate sizes of something - in an election result it is screaming that it indicates the magnitude of the votes.
It's a similar misuse of visual elements I saw some years ago that displayed the US prediential election results as: bright blue: strong party X, bright red: weak party X pale blue: strong party Y, pale red: weak party Y WTF? ? ? ? ? ?

That looks amazingly like Ireland with the original Ulster missing. North Korea haven't annexed Donegal, have they? |

Presidential Elections, Right-minus-Left (Nota bene: Minor candidates were partly hard/impossible to be classified; in Daejeon 2002 41.000 votes are missing in my source [ko.wikipedia]):  |
