Maggie's back!...


The O's in the blog-post titles will resume tomorrow! The UK political map now looks a lot like Maggie Simpson! Mashable on Twitter ...although it looks like they have used the 2010 election map [update**], the current one doesn't have all that Lib Dem orangey-yellow down in the South-West and Wales fooled everyone. One thing right: the red's a dummy...


** Update: "The image was first posted before the election results were known; the election map shown is actually a prediction of the voting results that was published by The Telegraph."

Update 2, 9th May: Interesting: below the Louth to Severn line (not including London) shows barely 12 Labour wins (all in urban centres: Plymouth, Bristol, Oxford, Luton, Norwich etc.), almost replicating 2010, BUT more interesting: the Severn to Thames line has Labour not even 2nd in most constituencies:  Michael Heaver [on Twitter] "This second place 2015 map shows why UKIP has a very exciting future indeed".
