Another map of the British election results: This time we mapped all winning parties in relation to the population distribution. Like in the previous maps (Here: 1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 3<\/a>), we used the gridded population cartogram as a basemap, because unlike conventional maps<\/a> (showing land area) or the increasingly used constituency maps<\/a> (showing one shape per constituency), this maps resizes the results related to the population distribution. It shows, how many people are represented by the winning party, and each grid cell refers to the same geographical extent.
