The problem with that: in July 2024 a 4th party (Reform UK) got more votes than LD in England. So a 3-party graph does not tell the story. We need a tetrahedron not a triangle, to display shares of the 4-party vote (Con,Lab,LD,RUK).
On 2-D paper or screen we can only see flat views of a tetrahedron. The "top-3 tetraplot" below shows ternary views through the 4 faces of the tetrahedron. Each seat a

About something I drew in #rstats --- a display for 4-part compositional data. And some data of interest to me: voting at the 2024 UK General Election.

This little "pink palace" at Ca' Foscari University (Venice) is home to a really excellent group of researchers in #statistics. A wonderful place to visit. ★ 2 Long-time #emacs user here. Lately I have been persuaded to use #Overleaf (a LaTeX document editor and processor online) for some projects, because it's used by some of my collaborators.
