All the counts in one place

All 40 constituencies for Ireland’s general election in the one place.  To help you understand these graphs if you are not familiar with the Irish transfer system, I would advise you to read this post first.  Colours indicate what political party (or grouping) a candidate is from with

  • Blue being Fine Gael
  • Light green being Fianna Fáil
  • Dark green being Sinn Féin
  • Red being Labour
  • Bright green being Green Party
  • Purple being Social Democrats
  • Orange being Renua
  • Light red / (technically a pinkish brown, but seems more like a brownish pink to me!) is People Before Profit / Anti-Austerity Alliance / Socialist Party / Workers Party
  • Grey is Independent (Independent Alliance or otherwise) and others.

The order of the names in the legend corresponds to the number of 1st preferences received [highest 1st preference is at the bottom as they are least likely to be eliminated at a later stage]; a star beside the name indicates that they have been elected

Otherwise, let’s go; here are all 40 transfer patterns visualised… analysis to come later. Note that the result for Longford-Westmeath is still pending!
