Chart types you will meet there
Parliament chart
Every seat of an assembly as one dot, arranged in a half-circle like the chamber and grouped by party, with the majority threshold drawn in.
Pictogram (icon array)
A grid of identical icons where each stands for a fixed unit, coloured by group, so a share can be counted rather than estimated.
