this assumes a left to right interpretation which is not universal
While this is true, the graphic is in English using the Latin script. The Latin script is, as you might know, a left to right script which triggers a left to right interpretation of the whole thing.
Honestly, it didn’t trigger me at all but it would be more logical to also put the bigger color first (read: on the left)

From my understanding “winner takes it all” is on state level, so the winner gets all the votes people. I only know this from the US.
“First past the post” is when there is one elected person per district and they need a relative majority which is also true in the UK.
In other countries like France, you have more than one round or need an absolute majority. Still gerrymanderable but not “first past the post”.
