Political Parties
nCubes hold all the statistics presented by the Vision of
Britain system, and are defined as combinations of variables.
For example, the age-sex tables that appear in most census
reports are held as two-dimensional nCubes in which one
dimension is a variable categorising sex and the other
variable defines a set of age groups. nCubes can have many
dimensions, such as age by sex by occupation by cause of
death, or just one.

The election result data we hold includes over three hundred
party labels, so we have simplified them to these seven
simple categories.
Of course, most candidates in most elections, and almost every
candidate who won, was standing for one of the main parties,
but an enormous range of labels have been used by one or two
candidates.
These groupings have been defined based almost entirely on the
party labels, rather than detailed research into party policies,
but including words like 'Labour' or 'Conservative' in
your party label says a lot about where you stand, and even
more about the people voting for you.
'Left' means broadly speaking candidates to the left of the
Liberal or Labour parties, 'Right' candidates to the right of
the Conservatives.
'Nationalist' means any kind of nationalist, even including
Isle of Wight nationalists.
