Figure 8.8 The death-like heads inside Glasgow city are solidly orange
(Labour/SNP) while the happy faces around the Capital voted solidly for the
government of the day. The Welsh may not have many jobs or expensive hous-
ing, but they still turn out to vote in large numbers. This technique is particularly
