The First Cameron Cabinet (Annotated; Final; Venn)

The Guardian's datablog published a breakdown of the cabinet, which has now been updated to include all 29 members and attendees. The Guardian also provided various information about each member, including sex, education, ethnicity etc. I'm hoping the data is now stable, so that this won't need to change again.

Here's an annotated version Miró's view of it on a 5-D nested Venn diagram, with yellow Lib Dems and true blue Tories.

So on the main Venn Diagram we see that 19 (6 +8 + 4 + 1) of the 29 cabinet ministers so far announced are white males, educated at Oxbridge. Of those nineteen

• six are under 45 and went to a private school;
• eight are 45 or over and went to a private school;
• one is under 45 and didn't go to a private school;
• four are 45 and over and didn't go to a private school.

Of the remaining ten, six are white males.

The raw data is available from the Guardian Datastore; the original table I worked from (as presented by Miró) is here:

Although Miró did most of the work, I did annotation, so it's entirely possible that I have mislabelled the discs.

Cabinet Breakdown (improved)

Here's a slightly improved version of that breakdown of the new cabinet, with the natural colour coding (Lib Dems in yellow, Tories in blue).

The New Cabinet (so far): The Nested Venn Diagram

The Guardian's datablog has just published a breakdown of the cabinet, as announced so far, by various attributes such as sex, education, ethnicity etc. Here's Miró's view of it on a 5-D nested Venn diagram.

So on the main Venn Diagram we see that 15 (1 + 5 + 5 + 4) of the 22 cabinet ministers so far announced are white males, educated at Oxbridge. Of those 15, 5 are under 45 and went to a private school, 5 are 45 or over and went to a private school, 1 is under 45 and didn't go to a private school and 4 are 45 and over and didn't go to a private school.

Of the remaining seven, five are male and white but didn't go to Oxbridge (1, privately schooled, all 45 or over).

The two who stand out as different are the two women, Baroness Sayeeda Warsi (lower right red disc), who is not male, white, Oxbridge-educated, privately schooled or 45 or over, and Theresa May (next lowest, next right-most red disc), who wasn't privately educated.

The raw data is available from the Guardian Datastore, but since it may be updated, the original table I worked from (as presented by Miró) is here:
