First of all, Pedro J. Ramírez ... buaaargh <vomiting>

Having saiud that, it is a pretty cool way to show information, yet it could be better. That way of showing the data is a bit biased and over represents PP/PSOE. At the end of the day, let's say PP "won" in Madrid, they will not be able to appoint the major anyways, cause Ahora Madrid will ally with PSOE. So basically... a bit useless.

Also, "Otros" is 29.7% of the votes!!

When you check Navarra the "Otros" category makes sense. There are like 10 different organizations and N/A data over there.

That said, I think that 29% is actually a good thing. A more diverse congress is also a more independent one.

We basically set a cutoff when a party earned less than a two percent of votes. The table would be huge then :)
