					<description><![CDATA[On 23 February 2025 Germans went to the polls to elect a new parliament. The collapse of the coalition between SPD, Die Grünen, and FDP in November 2024 led to a snap election just over half a year ahead of the scheduled general election in the autumn. The final result saw the Christian Democrats come first with 22.6 per cent of the votes, an increase of 3.6 per cent. Combined with their the Bavarian sister-party CSU's 6.0 per cent (up 0.8 per cent) they are the strongest force in the new Bundestag, together holding 208 of the 630 seats. The extreme right ‘Alternative for Germany‘ (Alternative für Deutschland, AfD) gained most new votes with a vote share of 20.8 per cent (up 10.4 per cent, 152 seats). The party of (outgoing) chancellor Olaf Scholz came third with 16.4 percent (down 9.3 percent, 120 seats).
The Green party (Grüne) came fourth, securing 11.6 percent of the list vote (down 3.1%, 85 seats). Die Linke won 8.8 per cent (up 3.9 per cent, 39 seats). Former co-governing FDP did not enter parliament due to their vote share of 4.3 per cent which is below the 5 per cent threshold to enter parliament (down 7.1 per cent). Danish minority party SSW reached 0.2 percent in the list vote but gained one seat through special rules for parties representing minorities. Other parties not represented in parliament accounted for 9.4 percent of the valid votes.
This pair of maps shows on the left the winning parties of the constituency vote (Erststimme) which directly elects a constituency representative into parliament and on the right the strongest party in the list vote (Zweitstimme) which determines the proportional representation for each party in the new parliament. These results are shown as gridded population cartograms which are proportional to the respective population there, accompanied by a small ‘conventional’ land area map.]]></description>

Overlaid are the colours of the winning candidate having gained the majority of votes in each county. Further details are explained in the legend. The small inset map shows the same data on a conventional map projection.</strong></p>

					<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, November 5, 2024 the electorate of the United States of America elected Donald Trump as the 47th president of the country. Trump won 312 votes in the Electoral College, compared to his opponent Kamala Harris who received 226 votes in the electoral college. After his previous term as 45th president, Trump follows the tenure of Joe Biden who stepped down to let Harris lead the final months of the campaign as the Democrat candidate. 
The map shown here displays the final results at county level reflecting a cartographic view of the popular vote. In the popular vote, Donald Trump of the Republican party received 77,302,416 votes (49.8%), Kamala Harris of the Democrat party secured 75,012,178 votes (48.3%).
State-level results also reflecting the electoral college vote have been published in our blog post on <a href="https://worldmapper.org/us-presidential-election-2024/">Cartographic Views of the 2024 Presidential election</a>.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The United Kingdom held its General Election on July 4th, 2024. Keir Starmer's Labour Party achieved a significant victory, securing 412 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons with 33.7% of the vote. This election marked the end of turbulent 14 years of Conservative rule, with the party, led by Rishi Sunak, obtaining only 121 seats and 23.7% of the vote. The Liberal Democrats improved their standing, winning 72 seats with 12.2% of the vote, while the Scottish National Party (SNP) secured 9 seats (2.5% of the overall vote in the UK, but only standing in Scotland). Sinn Fein secured 7 seats with a 0.7% vote share (only standing in Northern Ireland). Reform UK gained 5 seats (14.3% vote share), as did the Democratic Unionist Party in Northern Ireland (with an overall vote share of 0.6%). 4 seats went to both the Green party (6.7% vote share) and Plaid Cymru in Wales (overall vote share of 0.7%). Further seats were taken by the Social Democratic &#038; Labour Party (2), the Alliance Party (1), the Ulster Unionist Party (1) and the Workers Party of Britain (1). 7 seats were taken by Independent candidates without a national party affiliation. Voter turnout was 60%, down by 7.6% compared to 2019 and the lowest since 2001.
