Figure 8.10 The 633 mainland parliamentary constituencies are each repre-
sented by a face whose features express the various variables and which are
coloured by the mix of voting. Particularly outstanding are the colours of
Oxford East, Yeovil, Norwich South, Tweedale and Glasgow Eastwood. Several
expressions have changed markedly since 1983, but are harder to find on this
constituency cartogram. See Figure 2.2 in Chapter 2 for area labels.
