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 too past times how much Britain voters voted to leave of absence or remain inwards the EU.

Most other visualizations I've seen convey used a choropleth map to demo the extent to which areas voted to leave of absence or remain inwards the EU. This map uses colored scaled circles to demo the vote margins inwards each Britain local authorities area, region, too country. I mean value the final result is a much clearer visualization of the back upwardly for staying inwards or leaving the European Union to a greater extent than or less the UK.

If yous pick out the the world pick yous tin run into that Northern Island voted to remain too Wales voted to leave. However inwards both cases alone past times a pocket-size margin. The biggest margins were inwards Scotland too England - both on opposing sides. This actually emphasizes the huge political gap betwixt the 2 countries at the 2d too I suspect predicts Scotland's eventual split from the Union Kingdom.

If yous pick out the regions pick yous tin run into that London was the alone share inwards the whole of England which voted to remain. This points to a huge political too cultural split upwardly inwards England betwixt the majuscule too the remainder of the country.

Switching to the local authorities surface area persuasion it is clear that exterior of London the original areas which voted to remain were mainly the largest academy towns, Overall remain proved to a greater extent than or less pop amongst younger voters, the higher educated too those on higher median incomes. This seems to move confirmed past times this persuasion of voting margins inwards local authorities areas.
