@morbidteaparty now that I think about, the broad stokes up there might be helpful for your TL project.
I've been looking forward to this.
You could always just do it by the leading candidates' vote shares rather than by majority, that almost seems like a more common way to do things than the one we use.On the colouring, I do have a question. So I have the vote shares of the winners in the constituencies, but other than the multi-member ones, no clue about the votes received by the second-most-voted candidate - so I'm unsure how to colour the seats. I was going by subtracting the majority share from 100, but that's not a great method. Any suggestions?
Seems like that's probably the best system if there's no information on the non-winning candidates' vote totals. You'll still have some differentiation, and it'll at least convey some information to the viewer: which seats are true strongholds, which are unopposed, and so on. Maybe expand the color gradient to allow for more nuance if you have a lot of results in that 70-100% range?

Heh, then it’s very likely that my great great grandfather knew him personally.Francisco Agustín Silvela was MP for Arenas de San Pedro from 1886 until 1901 and again 1903-1907.
Meanwhile Fransciso Silvela was MP for Piedrahita from 1881 until 1893 and again from 1896 until his passing. Following that, his son, Jorge Silvela won the seat in a by-election and kept it until 1923.

He was the town notario until he hanged himself one day, it’s still a bit frowned upon to talk about it in the family 120 years later.Oh? I don't know why but I thought your family was Navarrese.
Honestly, Silvela was some of the best Spanish conservatism has produced.

Yeah, a quarter of it. A huge chunk is Old Castilian, with one set of great grandparents from both my mother’s and my father’s side coming from Piedrahita.
Very weird, my parents met while vacationing in Villajoyosa in the 80s, one coming from Madrid, the other from San Sebastián, and only 20 years later I when mapping the family tree I found out that they both had great grandparents living in Piedrahita during the tail end of the 19th century (which had about 1,000 inhabitants at the time).

How common was this outside the Basque provinces? It feels very in keeping with turnismo, and IIRC it's still kind of how it works in the Philippines.Why green? Because they ran as 'independents' but are more accurately described as 'Basque dynastic' (dinásticos vascos), as they sat with Conservative or Liberals depending on the government.
