Bar graph of results from 1867 to 2011—update for 2015 and 2019

[edit]

Can we get an update of File:Canadian federal election results.png to include 2015? Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 08:40, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've replaced the old graph image with a graph generated from a template. This not only corrects some of the parties' colours, but also adds data from the 2015 and 2019 elections. I've also taken the liberty of trying to roughly sort the parties along the political spectrum, whereas the previous version was sorted chronologically, i.e. adding them to the bottom of the list as they appear in elections. I left out some minor parties like Labour, partly because the old PNG version did the same, but also because I understand too little about the political subtleties, e.g. I'm not sure whether I'd attribute Progressive-Labour to Progressive or to Labour, so I just ended up leaving them in Independent / others. I used the single election articles as a guideline as to which party counted towards parliamentary groups and which towards others. This should also make maintenance easier, as future results can just be added to the comma-delimited lists. --Safto Rangen (talk) 00:03, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Safto, thanks for the improvements you made.
I see it was a bar graph, but I prefer the current line graph - I think it reads easier.
Can you update the line graph of results [File:Canadian federal general elections.svg] ?
The next election is coming soon, and the results from 2015, 2019 and 2021 are still outstanding.
If a Wikipedia tool for this exists, please direct me to it?

Add Greens as "Fifth party" for 41st-43rd parliament?

[edit]

It was notable that the greens won their first seat in 2011 and, I think, notable that they won 2 more in 2019. Is it worth updating the "Fifth party" slot to contain "1, 1, 3" (with respective reduction in "other" column) and a green bar?

Article title

[edit]

The article title should be List of Canadian federal elections. -- GoodDay (talk) 00:03, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
