The full STV breakdown for the election I used as an example above is here: https://gist.github.com/finnbar/d619db8097a25444e22146ca76bded0c
Closed by #323, although leaving the issue up and updating because it could be further improved if someone would like.
Currently, the STV results look like this:
which is useful enough for getting the final result (since it's displayed clearly) but the following breakdown is verbose and difficult to parse - to the point where making it human-readable is a significant extra step for whoever is running the election.
One step that would make it easier is mapping Candidate X to the actual candidate they represent. X is the database ID of the candidate, so it's easy enough to access, but still an extra step for someone providing a full STV breakdown.
Of course, if you want to go the full way and generate a spreadsheet akin to what the breakdowns have looked like (example below), then go for it!
