It is literally just the Rhondda at this point, but that might be useful later on - I'm also mulling over whether to use the INC turquoise for the Liberal Unionists or just make them all blue with asterisks.Great work.
I think it might be worth having a separate colour scale for Lib-Lab, maybe just a redder orange? Assuming that stands out enough to be meaningful.
I think turquoise would be a sensible choice, in terms of differentiating them from the normal Tories.It is literally just the Rhondda at this point, but that might be useful later on - I'm also mulling over whether to use the INC turquoise for the Liberal Unionists or just make them all blue with asterisks.
I would definitely use a different colour for Liberal Unionists - when I was considering mapping this period, I was debating between teal/turquoise or perhaps the blue-purple colour we use for the UUP.It is literally just the Rhondda at this point, but that might be useful later on - I'm also mulling over whether to use the INC turquoise for the Liberal Unionists or just make them all blue with asterisks.
The thing is, they and the Conservatives never stood candidates against one another, did they? My general rule is that parties that don't compete should get the same colour. OTOH, there were a large number of Liberal Unionists and asterisks would just look odd.I would definitely use a different colour for Liberal Unionists - when I was considering mapping this period, I was debating between teal/turquoise or perhaps the blue-purple colour we use for the UUP.
I think it's important in this case for showing the transition from 1885 to 1886 because it helps highlight which former Liberals carried a personal vote and so on. Another factor is the number of places (like Birmingham and much of Scotland) which were firmly 'not Tory, but Liberal Unionist'--and this was actually an important distinction for the political evolution of the country, it's what made the Tory-led side actually electable for the first time in Scotland and Wales since 1832.The thing is, they and the Conservatives never stood candidates against one another, did they?

I think it's worth having them a separate colour; I believe it was Ian Cawood who argued quite well in his history The Liberal Unionist Party: A History, that until 1895 they were very much a separate political entity to the Tories, with it being only when they entered coalition in '95 that they simply became Tories with a fancy name.The thing is, they and the Conservatives never stood candidates against one another, did they?

It's even worse in Spanish, because (@Nanwe will correct me if I'm wrong) "frente" also means forehead.I can't help but read "For Mexico to the Front" as "For Mexico to be sent to the Front [aka the trenches]"
