General election analysis using Power BI

You can’t fail to be impressed by dashboards created with Power BI. The visuals are exciting, colourful, engaging and allow you to delve deep into your data wherever it's stored - whether on-premises or in the cloud. 

With the upcoming UK general election fast-approaching, we’ve used Power BI to try and make sense of voting patterns across Wales over the past three UK elections. It clearly shows how small the majority was in Gower in 2015, how the map is getting bluer over the years and why Labour was disappointed in Blaenau Gwent in 2005. What surprises will the 2017 election bring? We’ll update the dashboard as soon as the data is available.
