Volt France Data, Open Data !

Here at Volt France, we care about Open Data. What this means is simple:

Data should be accessible to all, but more importantly, it should be easy to manipulate, retrieve, analyze.

This is why we set up a Github page, on which you will see the cleaned and easily parsed CSV format of each questionnaire survey.

But is France protectionist ?

As a quick way to dispell the doubt, the answer is no, but rather more precisely: they’re nuanced.

Here’s the breakdown in an interactive chart:

You can filter along different dimensions, here’s a quick breakdown:

• Richer people are more protectionist
• Blue collar workers are less protectionist
• Young people are perfectly average
• Older people lean less protectionist

You can find this chart on Volt France’s Free Flourish Dashboard app, please enjoy and leave us a feedback 🫰🏻

Those who know will recognize a famous quote by a video-game character (whomst ?), but this isn’t important right now.

What is then ?

Well, I just uploaded interactive maps for every european country.

These are free, embeddable, and easily editable if you feel like dealing with a rather straightforward spreadsheet.

Here's the result below ! 👇👇

The features

As you can see, you can hover and search the map for whatever item you put in the spreadsheet 📝

Grab your keyboards !

Every country is there, look on the Flourish Volt France page app.flourish.studio/@volt.france !

Step one: cloning

What you're going to do is click here on whatever map, top right corner

This is going to prompt you for confirmation, go ahead ..

Spreadsheet time

As you can see on this capture, everything happens on this spreadsheet ! 🤓

Precisely the column M is what makes the colors, but you can also specify columns G to M as hover data.

Now you do your little spreadsheet operations, for example I went to look at the brexit vote, and to be quicker with the table stuff I took the actual raw table (NEVER DO THIS !!) as an example.

Here's my table without processing, just removing upper case and cleaning stuff would go a long way, pick your weapon 😉

You just upload the data file, and you pick your column to match geometries and data.. BOOM !. Granted to go quicker I just plotted the turnout rate, but here it is !

Reminder

This is where you can find the maps, if you need them !
