Interesting idea but there is something very strange about the graphs. In Fig. 3 for example, congress seems to have won every parliamentary seat in 1969 (light green dots) with exactly the same vote share. Ditto 1994 (pink). When dots line-up in horizontal lines like they are doing very often here, there is something very wrong in the pooling or averaging – you should re-check the calculations!
