[OC] I was curious how the urbanisation affects (Polish presidential) elections, so I made a graph. (Translation, sources, explanation in the comments)

    1. On the scatter plot the X-axis represents the urbanisation level of each powiat (district), whereas the Y-axis represents the votes for Trzaskowski in each powiat, both are in %. The table (legend) on the right represent the voivodships.

      The dots that are higher than the dashed line represent powiats, where Trzaskowski has won (>50%). The dots that are lower represents the ones, where Nawrocki has won (<50%).

      Linear regression: the red line represents “Poland A”, the blue one – “Poland B”, the black one – all the powiats.

      Cities with the rights of a powiat (miasta na prawach powiatu) = 100% urbanisation level.

      **The data was taken from PKW (the Polish electoral commission, the elections results based on powiats) and GUS (Polish main statistics office, urbanisation level based on powiats). Written on Python.**

      – *What’s “Poland A/B?”*
      – I wanted to divide the powiats, but voivodships made too much visual noise. “Poland A/B” is a meme/phenomenon based on the West/East division, the Polish borders and how they moved throughout the history. I’d use something else if I had a better idea on my mind

      Since I suck at statistics, feedback is welcome!
