Why constituencies?

Simply because it's the easiest way to map the whole of the UK.

Covering all 650 means everyone in the UK has had the opportunity to attend Empty Chairs.

Every filled-in constituency on that map started with one person deciding to sit at a table and leave some chairs free.

How to fill in the map

Be the first where you live

If your constituency is still blank, you're the person who can change that. It takes one table and one evening.
