We have seen and heard a lot about the election outcome, not only on this website (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>), but one more map: The following hexagon map (see here for a comparison of the different map types we are using<\/a>) shows the changes that have actually taken place in the constituencies. The colour scheme indicates where seats have changes between the parties, and where they remained the same. For a clearer picture, the national parties in Scotland (SNP) and Waled (PC) have been put together under one colour.
\nThis map is also available as a kmz file for GoogleEarth<\/a> and other compatible software, which allows to zoom in and identify constituencies (a geographical version of the map is also included in the file).
