Harrow 2010. Lab 34 (+10) C 27 (-11) LD 1 Ind 1 (+1). This was a wrong winner result, the shares of the vote being C 39.3 Lab 34.9 LD 20.1. 2010 map: Cartogram of the 2010 results (showing each ward in proportion to its voting power): Split wards in 2010 were: Harrow on the Hill: 2Lab/1C Headstone North: 2C/1Ind Kenton West: 2C/1Lab Rayners Lane: LD/Lab/C

A small-ish scale map of Greater London election results, 1955-70: Base map derived from the map here. (And for those who have problems viewing my maps, does this link work instead?)

Marginally easier than in yours, tbh...... (I only commented there because your maps are so excellent normally - you should be flattered

Nothing so exciting, I assure you.......
(Pete did a map a week or two ago where the shades of lightest blue/pink were a tad difficult to distinguish from each other)

Something I started back in 2004 was trying to get a decent blank map of the 1885-1918 constituencies, in order to do the sort of maps Al has done in another place. What with various things in the intervening eight years, I've only got so far as completing England and Wales. I've found maps of Ireland to work off in future, but not Scotland. Anyway; without further ado, my favourite election of them all: The 1886 election in England and Wales (which for those who can't see my PNGs on here, should be here instead). Results taken from Fred Craig, British Parliamentary Election Results 1885-1918 (with tinkering for two-member boroughs). Maps of counties derived from these maps; inset map of London derived from this map (which for some reason includes West Ham). Some whimsical points: 1. Industrial Lancashire was pretty solid for Unionism; the industrial West Riding just as solid for the M.O.G. and Home Rule. Obviously, the factors of (a) the level of Anglicanism v. Nonconformity and (b) the level of Irish immigration at play here. Perhaps appropriately, Colne Valley returned its Liberal Unionist member unopposed. 2. The complete collapse of the Gladstonian Liberals in the Home Counties. Liberal candidates in none of the seven Surrey seats (six county divisions + Croydon), none of the four Herts divisions, two of the eight Kent county divisions, none of the five Hants county divisions. Similar problems in the east Midlands (including not fighting Liberal-held Louth; Fred Craig's explanation of this is quite weak). I suppose all the unopposed Liberal Unionist returns in Birmingham and points west are more excuseable. The Tories, on the other hand, pretty much gave the Gladstonians a free pass in the Durham and South Wales coalfields and a fair few seats in the West Riding. In both cases I suppose having fought the new divisions in 1885 - and got nowhere - the money had run out on both sides for another go at hopeless seats seven months later. 3. Oh, for such a solidly Tory LCC area now. I blame the decline of the music halls. 4. Perversely detached county seats which were only made contiguous by boroughs within them. NW Norfolk is the most obvious example of this; Shipley the most weird (either side of Bratfud). There were others like this. And obviously the more standard sort of detached parts too - North Lonsdale, South Derbyshire, South Worcestershire; Chelsea, Wandsworth, Westminster, Woolwich, Finsbury Central (Muswell Hill not shown); and the Welsh districts of boroughs. 5. If anyone can work out what parliamentary borough Brierley Hill and Old Hill were in, let me know. Every map shows them in a borough but I can't work out which, so I have slung them into Kingswinford. 6. Notice of any errors gratefully received. Having spotted massive mistakes when I returned to the original, 2004-generated, Leicestershire I imagine there will be plenty everywhere else. EDIT: Revised map of Dudley. EDIT2: Added Darlington. EDI3: Added Saint Helens.

I've looked into the Brierley Hill/Old Hill question and I think it's most likely that they were part of the Dudley parliamentary borough at this time, being transferred to Kingswinford in 1918.

Your response triggered me to engage brain and have a look in Debrett's Guide to the House of Commons 1886, and indeed there it is: So my map is wrong and I will update it, probably tomorrow. EDIT: Done.

In 1886 I would have been in the Westhoughton constituency. Safe Tory seat! Would never happen today.

In 1886 I would have been in the Westhoughton constituency. Safe Tory seat! Would never happen today. I would have been in the Hallam division of the Parliamentary Borough of Sheffield, and the Hallamshire division of Yorkshire. (Apparently -- i.e. according to Wikipedia -- freeholders could vote in the latter.) Anyway, excellent work on the map, Stepney.

Cross posted from Edinburgh thread An alternative to the striped style for STV election maps. Background colour is the leading party on first preferences. The interactive version includes some transfer analysis. At ward level you can follow each stage of the count through the medium of the bar chart. Aberdeen, Dundee and Glasgow also available via the link.

And I understand that you ought indeed to lump all the residents groups together, and that they act as one in the Council chamber at (the severely naused-up) Havering. Indeed, are they not all simply different ballot-paper descriptions for the London Residents' Association which stood against Roger Evans in Havering & Redbridge this May?

Map of the 1918 General Election in modern-day Greater London: Or else here. Base map hand-traced from Bartholomew's Reference Atlas of Greater London (1940), and, as such, I think I've naused up Southwark, Lambeth, Streatham and Croydon, which fell between the crease in the two pages. Any better outline maps gratefully received.
