Representation in Canada for 2008 General Election

This is a follow-up to Friday nights post, I thought this visual would more clearly demonstrate the voter representation.

• The label is the percentage voter turnout in each province/territory
• The size of the circle is representative of population
• The colour indicates how well the voters in that province were represented by having the candidate of their choice elected. Green is better (>50%) and red is poorer (<50%) representation. The darker the colour the more extreme, so a dark green would be the preferred good representation.

Somewhere on my to do list is to collect this information for several general elections and view it over time.
