Mapping The Divided Kingdom

Fake is the New Real has released a map showing the vote margins inwards the UK's European Union referendum. It visualizes where as well as yesteryear how much United Kingdom of Great Britain as well as Northern Ireland of Britain as well as Northern Republic of Ireland voters voted to leave of absence or remain inwards the EU.

Most other visualizations I've seen convey used a choropleth map to exhibit the extent to which areas voted to leave of absence or remain inwards the EU. This map uses colored scaled circles to exhibit the vote margins inwards each United Kingdom of Great Britain as well as Northern Ireland of Britain as well as Northern Republic of Ireland local authorities area, region, as well as country. I intend the effect is a much clearer visualization of the back upward for staying inwards or leaving the European Union approximately the UK.

If y'all lead the solid reason pick y'all tin run across that Northern Island voted to remain as well as Wales voted to leave. However inwards both cases entirely yesteryear a small-scale margin. The biggest margins were inwards Scotland as well as England - both on opposing sides. This actually emphasizes the huge political gap betwixt the 2 countries at the bit as well as I suspect predicts Scotland's eventual split from the Union Kingdom.

If y'all lead the regions pick y'all tin run across that London was the entirely portion inwards the whole of England which voted to remain. This points to a huge political as well as cultural split inwards England betwixt the working capital missive of the alphabet as well as the residuum of the country.

Switching to the local authorities expanse thought it is clear that exterior of London the psyche areas which voted to remain were mainly the largest academy towns, Overall remain proved nearly pop amongst younger voters, the higher educated as well as those on higher median incomes. This seems to hold out confirmed yesteryear this thought of voting margins inwards local authorities areas.
