Where do Flemish parties sit on the ideological map, and where are their voters? We answered that question with interactive scatter plots in a scrollytelling format. Based on university research data, we placed parties and 1,908 voters in a two-dimensional quadrant: socio-economic left/right and socio-cultural left/right. The scrollytelling reveals step by step how far parties sometimes stand from their voters: 73% of voters are closer to a different party than the one they vote for.
