[MG] Votespace social map - layout stability

[Michael Allan]

Thanks Thomas!  I think we can't go wrong with this basic design, and
it's mostly to your own credit.  (I love how well it balances the
center and the periphery.)

Here are a couple of ideas for showing the percentages (I agree
they're needed).  The first uses numeric labels:

The second (attached) uses segmented needles.  Each full segment
represents 10%.  Labels would also be shown (much as above) but only
while hovering with the mouse:

Which seems better?  I prefer the second.
