Plot the results of an election (bar chart)

Plots the number of votes or the number of seats as a bar chart. Use position = "fill" to visualize vote proportions.

plot_votes(
  years = 2006:2019,
  provinces = election_provinces(),
  x_var = "election_year",
  fill_var = "party",
  facet_var = NULL,
  facet_scales = "fixed",
  position = "stack",
  n_parties = 5
)

plot_seats(
  years = 2006:2019,
  provinces = election_provinces(),
  x_var = "election_year",
  fill_var = "party",
  facet_var = NULL,
  facet_scales = "fixed",
  position = "stack"
)
