📋 Issue Type

Feature - New Dashboard Component

🎯 Objective

Create an interactive Election Cycle Intelligence Dashboard that visualizes 40 years of Swedish Parliament election cycles (1994-2034), showing party performance evolution, decision-making effectiveness, predictive risk forecasting, and temporal voting patterns across 9+ election cycles.

📊 Current State

  • Data Available: 9 election cycles (1994-2034) with comprehensive metrics
  • Parties: 8 major parties + 30+ historical/minor parties
  • Metrics: Performance scores, win rates, decision effectiveness, risk forecasting
  • Granularity: Cycle-level (4-year periods), annual, and semester breakdowns
  • Dashboard: Not yet implemented

🚀 Desired State

A comprehensive election cycle dashboard with:

  1. Multi-cycle timeline visualization (1994-2034)
  2. Party performance trends with comparative analysis
  3. Decision intelligence metrics (approval rates, legislative effectiveness)
  4. Predictive risk forecasting (STABLE, RAPID_ESCALATION, confidence levels)
  5. Temporal trend analysis (attendance, voting patterns, volatility)
  6. Interactive filters (party, cycle, semester, metrics)

2. JavaScript Implementation (scripts/election-cycle-dashboard.js)

// Data Manager with CSV fetching and caching
class ElectionCycleDataManager {
  async fetchData() {
    // Fetch 4 CSV files with 24h caching
    // Parse with PapaParse.js
    // Aggregate by cycle, party, semester
  }
}

// Chart Renderers using Chart.js and D3.js
class ElectionCycleCharts {
  renderCycleTimeline(data) {
    // Chart.js line chart (x: cycle_year, y: performance_score)
    // 8 lines for major parties (M, S, SD, C, V, MP, KD, L)
    // Tooltips: win_rate, discipline_score, rank
  }
  
  renderDecisionHeatmap(data) {
    // D3.js heat map (x: cycle, y: party, color: approval_rate)
    // Color scale: red (0%) → yellow (50%) → green (100%)
    // Labels: decision_effectiveness (LOWLY, MODERATELY, HIGHLY)
  }
  
  renderRiskForecast(data) {
    // Chart.js scatter chart with error bars

    // Right Y-axis: avg_approval_rate (%)
    // X-axis: calendar_year + semester
    // Highlight: is_pre_election_semester (shaded area)
  }
  
  renderPartyTierChart(data) {
    // Chart.js stacked bar chart
    // X: cycle_year
    // Y: count of parties
    // Stacks: ntile_party_tier (1=Tier 1, 2=Tier 2, 3=Tier 3, 4=Tier 4)
    // Colors: Tier 1=#2e7d32, Tier 2=#66bb6a, Tier 3=#fbc02d, Tier 4=#f57c00
