NOTA vote-share
Note: Numbers are as taken from ECI website. ECI website doesn’t list a party with ‘zero votes’ in ‘Results’ section. So when a Party data isn’t there for a Constituency in ECI website, it’s not a straight-forward decision whether the party didn’t contest or contested but got zero votes - here I have considered only the Party-Constituency combinations with non-zero votes.

Introduction:
My previous post looked into most linked domains, in popular subreddits across the world. In that exploratary data analysis, I took a cluster of subreddits and did a comparative analysis of how (news-) domains linked, vary in their proportions within a cluster of subreddits. To a novice redditor though, it isn’t always clear which subreddits are alike, say, in terms of what they are about (for example, US Politics Wiki-rules), or, in terms of spatial proximity of subreddits, as extrapolated from redditors’ activity.
Reddit is a happening space to start conversations on any topical stuff with other anons in reddit community. Understandably though, it takes some initial effort on user’s part to figure how to get going in reddit aka the front page of the internet.
With thousands of user created communities out there to pick from (called subreddits in Reddit lingo), a new user will likely be at loss wondering how to pick the communities relevant to him or figure what sort of content gets discussed in communities that look interesting.
When it comes to discovering or consuming real-time content, Twitter is the place to be; be it sending out ‘Tweets’ real-time, or discovering latest online ‘Trends’ anywhere, or ability to begin a ‘conversation’ with anyone, Twitter does it all. In fact, Twitter Management wrote this in their letter to shareholders last year.
We’re focused now on what Twitter does best: live.
