Weakest by vote weight
Not by ward countThe note under each bar is what a ward-count report would have told you. Where the two diverge, the report is wrong in the flattering direction.
How a ward changes state
The model behind the colours- Filled
- All four load-bearing roles filled and reporting. Counts fully toward weighted coverage.
- Contested
- Roles filled but disputed, or an unresolved parallel claim to the position. Counts at 60%.
- Exposed
- One or two roles filled, no functioning ward executive. Counts at 25%.
- Vacant
- No named leadership. Counts at zero and escalates past 14 days.
A ward carries a count of filled roles, never a roster of names. Eight thousand wards times four roles is thirty-five thousand people this platform has no lawful basis to hold — and in deployment, the count comes from the party’s own returns rather than from anything collected here.
