A new piece is up at the Pol, with maps made in CartoDB. The Stamen Design basemap is lovely, and PostgreSQL is…quirky, but it’s nice to be able to do things like reduce a webmercator shape to its centroid with one function in a SELECT.

Great post.
I’d be really interested in more thought about what happened in the West Midlands. It does seem rather key. Your pointing to it seems to sync with the John Harris piece from Nuneaton just before the election…
I’ve heard that a simple way to correct most of the broken polls was to just lower the youth vote turnout assumption… haven’t had time to look into it, but it does seem plausible that youth turnout was lower.
