Winner and loser

In this post we will determine if some commune win more more votation than other and if yes which one is losing the most election and which one is winning the most. For that we take a look at the percentage of votation won by commune and we put it in a map, and next we will observe and analyze the 5 best and the 5 worst. See the full html here

On this map we first observe that the minimum of the win rate is 58% this mean that there is no commune that lose too much election that its voice is not heard. But we can also see that some place are But we can also see some place where there is more defeat, like the Jura, Schwyz and the south west of the Valais and we can see that there is some on the other side that are often right like the commune next to Bern and Friburg, the canton of Zurich and the South of the Grisons.

We can observe from that map that the place that tends to often win are place that are big towns or close to them and that the place that tends to lose are place that are in the campaign (even if some place break this trend like the grisons that are often right or Geneva and Lausanne that are not that right for big city). Most winning voters :

	Commune	mean number of registered electors	mean Participation in %	win rate
1340	Neuenegg	3310.416667	42.147436	95.032051
2000	Urtenen-Schönbühl	3624.288462	37.066987	95.032051
1051	Langenthal	9711.253205	43.849359	95.192308
157	Belp	6896.907051	43.318590	95.192308
549	Ebikon	7233.666667	44.025000	95.352564

least winning voters :

	Commune	mean number of registered electors	mean Participation in %	win rate
1983	Unteriberg	1456.714744	42.691987	58.814103
558	Ederswiler	98.314103	31.031410	61.858974
39	Alpthal	329.125000	42.285897	62.660256
1729	Schelten	44.298077	36.379167	62.980769
350	Campo (Vallemaggia)	53.878205	39.886538	63.301282

We see on those 2 tables that the language spoken at those place are not very important as they sound mostly German but we can see that the the commune that tends to lose often have very few people (some have less than 100 voters) and on the other side the winners are have a somewhat big population, but are not the most populated.

Conclusion

From what we see here, the Röstigraben is here not present but at its place we can see a divide between the cities and the countryside, this not of course a proof of the end of this divide but we begin to see an other division in Switzerland.
