Non-Voters are not a party ?
Or ARE VOTERS A PARTY ? YES OR NO ?

Don't put them with others parties in charts, this is a non sense.

Try pottery, watercolors, painting on wood, or even making fish bait, but leave politics to those who understand them.

You don’t think voter turnout is an important metric to include when you’re trying to demonstrate the actual support to a party? Odd.

Local elections results here, record turnout but...






White/Blank should be noted, not sure it should be added to charts tho.

Ok

Imho: Turnout is important to note when it's really low, or blatant. Or when it's about a national elections with two candidates.
Typically where I vote, the same guy get 70% of vote each time, and many were not really motivated to change it, so the turnout is one of the lowest in France.

Have a nice day



chart with colors i edited in the picture thread too


(Blue to white == from right to far right, centrists are blue-violet, moderated left pink, ecologists green, and left & hard left red)

Macron (Ensemble - 245 seats) got wrecked, here the 2022 French elections results

These pride flags are confusing.

Labour got fewer votes this election than the last.

They didn't really win so much as they lost less than the conservatives.

One thing to keep in mind when taking non-voters into account is that turnout typically slips once an election is considered a done deal. This happened for example in the US in 1996 and 1988.
So I actually prefer to measure the relative support level for various parties by their relative share of the votes which were actually cast, rather than the votes which would have theoretically been possible.

If you went by the share of the total voting-eligible population that a candidate received, no US president in history won 50%, and the last one to crack even 40% was Samuel Tilden in 1876 (and he lost that election in the EC, lmao!)
