2
+ question : Why does the visualized data look so boring?
3
+ ---
4
+ Those who participated with this tool early on may have seen that the data
5
+ seems to be more interesting back then. There were 3-4 opinions groups all
6
+ favouring a high degree of electoral reform, and each group had a story to
7
+ explore in the data.
8
+
9
+ Sadly, a current limitation of the tool caused this to change. When new
10
+ participants supporting the current first-past-the-post system started
11
+ arriving, they caused the other groups to "collapse" into one. This was through
12
+ no fault of the new participants, but was simply an artefact of the current
13
+ mathematical modelling. The "stories" (along with others) are still buried in
14
+ the data, and can be teased out once we [ release our open dataset] ( #open-data ) .
15
+ The issue is that the tool and visualization simply aren't robust enough at
16
+ this point, and unfortunately won't be remedied over the duration of this
17
+ particular consultation.
18
+
19
+ The Polis team are definitely thinking on long-term solutions for making the
20
+ data more explorable by all participants, and also more [ short-term
21
+ solutions] ( https://github.com/pol-is/issues/issues/39 ) for moderators.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
