ggparliament includes two functions for labelling parliament plots. The first, draw_partylabels(), plots the abbreviated name of parties and the number of seats allocated to the party. The second function, draw_totalseats(), plots the total number of parliamentarians in the center of the graph.

Drawing party labels

data <- election_data %>% 
    filter(year == "2016" & 
             country == "USA" & 
             house == "Representatives")

                            type = "semicircle", 
                            party_seats = data$seats, 
                            parl_rows = 8)

ggplot(usa_data, aes(x, y, color=party_long)) + 
    geom_parliament_seats() + 
    labs(colour = NULL) +
    draw_partylabels(type = "semicircle", party_names = party_short, 
    party_seats = seats, party_colours = colour) +
    scale_colour_manual(values = usa_data$colour, 
                        limits = usa_data$party_long) +
    theme_ggparliament(legend = FALSE)

australia <- election_data %>%
  filter(country == "Australia" &
    house == "Representatives" &
    year == 2016) 

australia_horseshoe <- parliament_data(election_data = australia,
  party_seats = australia$seats,
  parl_rows = 4,
  type = "horseshoe")

Draw label noting total number of parliamentarians
