I might do some analysis of the local election results; this would be much easier waiting for the EC to publish the results in spreadsheet form. Here are my notes on sources and methodology.<\/p>\n

Sources<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Election 2019: How the BBC is reporting the results<\/a>, from the BBC.<\/li>\n
  2. Local elections: Results in maps and charts<\/a>, an overview from the BBC<\/li>\n
  3. Local elections 2019: full results for English councils<\/a>, from the Guardian<\/li>\n
  4. Electoral data files and reports<\/a>, from the Electoral Commission, contains the results from last time round<\/li>\n
  5. 2019 United Kingdom local elections<\/a>, by wikipedia, tracks council, not ward results, probably the source of the list of authorities.<\/li>\n
  6. The Democracy Club now have a local results feature<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  7. https:\/\/twitter.com\/electionmapsuk<\/a> is also cute, albeit not tabular and not indexed. I wonder if big data tools would help.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Tools<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. UI Path Studio<\/a><\/li>\n
    2. UI Path Community Edition<\/a>, their download page<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      ooOOOoo<\/p>\n
