Map improvement[edit]

The previous maps are clean and esthetically pleasing. Unfortunately due to the proliferation of parties, many with practically identical branding colors, the legibility of it is questionable. Constituencies are also shaded in party hues, which are a bit redundant. What's more, the map didn't portray the critical pro-establishment/pro-democracy camps.

I decided to be bold and add a slightly improved map, with the following alteration:

1. I grouped parties into pro-establishment/pro-democracy/nativist/non-aligned camps, stacking them to create more legible bar charts.

2. Rather than coloring individual parties, I colored the camps instead (and break the geographical constituencies into constituent districts).

The combination of the two helps to highlight the anti-establishment camp's triumph in the geographical constituencies as well as the scale of the functional constituencies' unfairness.

On a side note, I translated the word 本土派 as "nativists" instead of "localists." The former is a more accurate descriptor of these parties' identitarian ideology. 沁水湾 (talk) 16:34, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
