Each of the 2,559 candidates inwards the 2017 federal election are represented inwards the Alle 2559 Direktkandidaten – Wer sie sind, wofür sie stehen visualization yesteryear a colored dot. As yous progress through the visualization these colored dots are continually rearranged to grouping the candidates yesteryear political party, yesteryear professional person / occupational background, yesteryear gender, historic menstruum as well as yesteryear house of birth.
The house of nascence of all 2,559 candidates is shown yesteryear placing each of the colored dots on a Leaflet map. Unfortunately yous can't zoom inwards on the map. Most candidates were born inwards Germany. However, because yous can't zoom inwards on this big cluster of dots, it is impossible to persuasion the geographical distribution of the candidates' birthplaces inside Germany.
5.4 per centum of candidates were born exterior the borders of the Federal Republic. Unfortunately the inability to zoom inwards on the map places much to a greater extent than attending on these unusual born candidates. As these unusual born candidates are the exclusively private dots that yous tin brand out on the map's default zoom layer they are the dots that yous are nearly probable to interact amongst on the map - amongst the maybe unintended final result of emphasizing their 'foreignness'.
