(Including one Edward Tufte has said "may well be the best statistical graphic ever drawn". Though I'm a bit ambivalent about Tufte's opinions on data-viz, personally. Heretical though this might be in statistical circles!)
Anyone know why the BJP did so well in Muslim areas of Uttar Pradesh elections? Some estimates out it as high as 39%.
As far as I can make out, a lot of Muslim voters simply decided to vote in non-sectarian fashion for a party that appeared to be delivering economic success. Always good to see people making up their minds on the issues rather than religion, community, etc. - perhaps one day most people in Northern Ireland will come round to it.
I ma sorry there is no proof of any such thing. The reason BJP won such a huge majority with 39% of the votes was because SP-Cong got 22% and so did BSP.
In Bihar, BJP got 35% and lost dismally because the opposition were united.
In UP, the Muslim vote got divided between the BSP [ traditional ] and SP-Cong, In fact, the late alliance appears to have helped the BJP.
In the Punjab, the BJP and their local partner were trounced.
Following the last, ridiculous and indeed offensive comment from Viewcode, I have reluctantly come to agree with the majority view - oft-entertained on here - that there should be some kind of financial/property-owning criterion for commenting on PB.
I suggest, from now on, only London property owners, and those with a verifiable income over £100,000 a year should be freely allowed to comment. The views of those "people" with smaller incomes, outside London, necessarily stupider and uninteresting, could perhaps be communally voiced by a single commenter, one they elect amongst themselves.
This is, after all, how trade unions formed, and in the end the Labour party, and it is how the lesser classes gained a very justifiable political leverage.
Such a rule would free up and energise debate on PB, without cruelly disenfranchising stupid, dull, provincial, ugly, undersized, dwarvish, smelly little poor people like viewcode.
Thoughts?
Fine, but enough of the airline talk already. Start collecting Rembrandts or something and tell us about those.

Good timing. Plenty of time to simmer. In the meantime, we can watch a car crash in super slow mode in UHD.
