There are more than a dozen parties. The interesting thing about the chart is that the two leading parties are basically tied, but the size of the bars suggests that the ruling party has 4 times as many votes as everyone else put together.
Come on, only 41% of the votes counted so far! I am sure that by the time all votes have been counted, all those three bars have each reached 100%. At least they will keep counting until that happens.

You mean you didn't get your electron microscope and read the "Chart not to scale" disclaimer in the corner of the pixel at X:463, Y:1429?

Only a lawyer could engrave an entire disclaimer onto a single pixel ;)

Scaled to readable size it'd be twenty pages long. They might have started to realise that no one wants to read a twenty-page disclaimer, so they decided to make it fit on one page, and then one of the more competitive of them said "hah! I bet I can fit not only one of them on one page, and not even a few thousand, but several million per page", so he shrunk it to 1px at 300px/inch and thus fit about 8700000 copies of the disclaimer on one A4 page.

That somehow reminds me of Paranoia. The disclaimers, and in fact the entire manual, for a new prototype from R&D are so small that you need an electron microscope to read them. Of course owning or using an electron microscope at red security clearance level is treason. And using a prototype without knowing all the dangers of it's operation is treason too.
