ConstituencyMap

A map of UK parliamentary constituencies created in D3

How to run

1. Clone this repository
2. Navigate to the map directory in the repository and run a server. This can be done by:
   • Using a plugin on a JavaScript IDE
   • Run python -m http.server in the terminal
3. Navigate in a browser to the localhost which contains the application

TODO

• Offset constituency circles on alternate rows
• Fit map to SVG size
  • Do this dynamically (without hard-coded numbers)
• Combine map data with 2019 parliamentary results (pre-JS/d3)
  • Do this step in D3
• Fill in missing constituencies in hexmap
• Colour circles by party
• Add legend
• Use hexagons instead of circles
• Make constituencies interactive

Data

• uk_hex.csv
  • Coordinates of UK parliamentary constituencies (2017 boundaries) in hexmap format
  • Created by ODILeeds,
    released under MIT license
• HoC-ge2019.csv
  • Results of the 2019 UK General Election
  • Provided by HoC library
• combined_ge2019.csv
  • Merged uk_hex.csv and HoC-ge2019.csv
  • Removed some unused fields, such as individual part votes, from combined dataset
  • Note: Not all constituencies are present in both files.
    I believe this is because the ODI map uses the old (2017) boundaries.
    The hexmap will need to be updated.
