dontsplittheremainvote.com

The aims are to identify areas where:

• remain parties working together could affect the result; and
• there is only one remain party which could win (under a variety of assumptions)

And in those areas, advise that a coalition would be helpful.

Design choices

It's a static html website, which means it looks bad. On the plus side, it's difficult to make it fall over.

The only dynamic bit is postcodes.php, which uses a sqlite database file full of postcodes.

Building it

Run:

python3 -m dontsplithteremainvote

and it will read a bunch of CSV spreadsheets and generate some html files from jinja2 templates.

You'll probably want to comment out make_sqlite() in dontsplittheremainvote/generate_pages.py.

Or: wget 'https://dontsplittheremainvote.com/postcodes.sqlite3' -O generated/ to download the 130MB postcode database.

Updating external sources

Run this to update the files in data/.

./update_extenral.sh

It does nothing if you updates less than 2 hours ago, which lets you ./update_extenral.sh && python3 -m dontsplithteremainvote every time

Deployment

Make config.sh containing RSYNC_LOCATION="XXXX@XXXX:dontsplittheremainvote.com/"

And run ./do_rsync.sh
