Many graph experts disagree with Darryl Huff’s argument that the scales of all graphs must begin at zero. I discuss why the rule for bar graphs may differ from that for line graphs.

Examples of misleading graphs not drawn to scale and a figure with unevenly spaced tick marks are shown. ... We now show a bar graph plotted with the data from the labels of Figure 3.

The scale only goes up to 10,000, when the highest number of votes received, by the Brexit Party, was 17,944. European Parliament election results are also not really comparable to general elections.
