The Wardman Wire

This article is a map of which parties control the different local authorities in Wales, which includes a key to the different areas. This uses an outline map from Wikipedia.

This is based on the 2004 Local Election results from the BBC. I have followed the obvious colours used by the BBC, except that No Overall Control is White. Grey is an Independent majority.
