I really don't see the problem. I mean...Hmmm. I really don't see the problem. I mean, it would be shocking if they made our bar very tiny, but it really isn't that bad. The point of bar charts is to show who's first, who's second, and who's not got a chance.<br /><br />The most disingenuous bar chart I've seen in a FPTP election was in a Tory leaflet last May, which showed the results from the 2007 council election that put the Tories first, Labour second and the Lib Dems third. The tagline was, quite reasonably on the basis of that, 'it's between Labour and the Conservatives here!' What they failed to mention was that later in 2007, the single sitting Labour councillor had resigned because he was up in court for benefit fraud, and that in the subsequent election Labour had been absolutely hammered with the Lib Dems in a narrow second place.Foregone Conclusionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15299377986312285047noreply@blogger.com
