Talk:1986 French legislative election

Adding a Parliamentary Layout

I am currently in the process of adding parliamentary layouts for all the french legislative elections (or at the very least adding as many as possible). I have arrived at this legislative election and have come at a bit of an issue, there is a coalition that was formed prior to this election. Now in normal circumstances, I wouldn't prioritise showing party seats over coalition seats but the issue here is that there are a lot of join ticket candidates which makes it difficult to add it without it looking exactly like RPR (with the colour at least). I was hoping to get advice on how to handle the situation? Should I do parties(in which case what should I do about the colours)? Should I do coalitions? Or should I do both (as seen in the 2022 legislative elections, in which case I would also need guidance on where to put each one)? Historybuffedmasters (talk) 10:48, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

I would suggest doing one colour for the alliance due to the issue you mentioned with the joint candidates, which would also be consistent with the infobox. And probably not relevant here given the aforementioned issue, but you can put two parliamentary diagrams in the results table, either like this or by using the switcher function that is used for the 2022 election's infobox map.
