The Map of the Chamber is an application that examines in detail who the 513 MEPs elected in 2014, his chances of re-election, the profile of their constituencies, sources of funding and the standard of received votes. Our analysis, based on the use of massive data and develop metrics specific to the electoral context, incorporating not only the demand (intention to vote, election results and segmentation of the electorate), but fundamentally the offer. We believe that the analysis of the options available in the political market (the kind of candidates that are offered to voters) is one of the fundamental reasons to explain the success rates since restricting viable options for renewal to a reduced set of candidates. The financial support from the party, the election experience and previous mandate, non-involvement in corruption scandals, all these factors help to understand which candidates are more likely to be re-elected.
Structure
The application has a structure easily accessible and intuitive to use. It is composed of five parts:
- bench Summary: contains an estimate of the number of a state deputies that will be re-elected and vacancies open to competition and possible renewal and a series of circles representing each deputy of potentially re-elected state delegation (filled circle) and risk not to renew the mandate (empty circle).
- Deputy Summary: meets the probability of re-election and some data on the election of Mr performance in the 2014 elections, as the position within the counter and the party or the number of times that has been re-elected.
- Votes: details the five municipalities in which it was most votes. In some cases, we clearly see candidates with more than 50% of votes in one county, revealing the existence of territories or "corrals" election.
- Voters: describes the profile of the voters who voted for the candidate in terms of education, age, income, HDI, life expectancy and the concentration (or not) in metropolitan areas.
- Expenses: reveal who it was that paid and where the applicant has spent resources for the campaign. Here we see if elected with the support of companies or party, or spent on personnel and advertising (posters, sound cars, etc.) or adapted a more concentrated on radio and television strategy.
Functionalities
The application allows you to simulate different scenarios for re-election to the House of Representatives and examine the details of the data of each member in a simple and interactive way.
