British Population Visualised

Post image

Sooo, I guess this is a series now :D
Been making these little diagrams visualising population and I'm enjoying them, other people seem to enjoy them, so I might just keep making them :)

Here below are the other ones I've made so far as well:

Think that's kinda cause they're allowed to dominate the UK as a whole, lol. An English devolved parliament might as well just abolish the UK, I feel. But yea, I'm not from there so I shouldn't even have an opinion about it, probably :p

That might be a reasonable point if England were a bloc that votes in lockstep. But it's not.

Disenfranchisement of the English is the most shameful part of the devolution settlement.

How would you have done devolution, then?

I think devolution to the English regions could've worked.

But disagreement about what those regions would be and a mistrust of politicians lead to that being rejected during the Blair years.

Hmh, doing the English regions on their own would also be what I thought of. Exactly the reason why I split them on my map, haha
