Made in Python. Election results from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Gorton_and_Denton_by-election#Result. Labour leaflet from https://www.instagram.com/p/DVJ1vxukVz8/.
*Edit*: it’s usually the Lib Dems who are mocked for their [misleading graphs](https://web.archive.org/web/20190627044313/https://www.buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/decidedly-dodgy-liberal-democrat-graphs).
Politicians try not to lie and use cheap scare tactics challenge: impossible
So they need a new polling firm? Unless you’ve got the full poll and can show that it was predicting a Green romp, it’s a bit of a stretch to say the leaflet was misleading.
These bar charts are a staple of elections here in the UK. Historically the Liberal Democrats are generally associated with them.
They’re always miles off. Sometimes the data they pick is cherry picked to the extent that it’s laughable if you look at the source data.
The poll they were sourcing this from had them neck and neck with the greens (and 2% ahead with likely voters, but that’s not what Labour were citing).

Turnout on the day was way ahead of what anybody was expecting.
That’s still disgustingly a shit ton of reform votes
Greens hammering the „there is one breaking point but its for you“ meme hard right now
