At the recent general election, the Conservative Party manifesto proposed switching how the London Mayor is elected to first-past-the-post. Although the Assembly is not mentioned in the manifesto, we had a RS report that they also planned to switch the Assembly to FPTP. This was inserted into the article.
However, the Conservatives failed to obtain a majority at the election and have now formed a minority government. The recent Queen's Speech had no mention of changing the electoral system for mayors or the Assembly. Thus this edit from Sport and politics. While I understand S&P's viewpoint, I suggest it is mistaken. It seems to me that it is speculation to presume the plans have been dropped. We have no RS reports on this matter. They may have been dropped, they may not. Until we know something, I think it better to leave the material in. Bondegezou ( talk) 11:16, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Where is the information regarding target seats from? There are no references here. Seems to be pure speculation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjashwell ( talk • contribs) 20:49, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

It seems rather strange to include UKIP within the infobox as although it did win seats in the previous election, both members resigned from the party and moved to the Brexit Alliance group [1]. As such should this group (which is not a political party) which has not given any indication to whether they will run in the election be included, with or without UKIP or should none of them be included within the infobox. JDuggan101 talk. | Cont. 17:30, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
As I understand it, Whittle leaves UKIP in Dec 2018. Kurten steps down as UKIP Education Spokesman, but remains in UKIP. London Assembly rules mean both are now disadvantaged, so they create the Brexit Alliance group, but it's an Assembly group, not a party. It doesn't change Kurten's party membership.
This Jan 2019 report has Kurten still in UKIP.
This Mar 2019 report also has Kurten still in UKIP, but possibly not RS. This from the same month says the same, and may be more RS.
It's only in summer 2019 that Kurten appears to leave UKIP. There are two Sputnik citations here, and they're problematic re RS. This on 1 July has Kurten still in UKIP, but this on 5 July has him as formerly in UKIP. Bondegezou ( talk) 21:06, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
This is reliable and has him as ex-UKIP. On his own website, he has also announced he "will be standing in the London Mayor and Assembly list elections on 7th May 2020 as an Independent candidate." Bondegezou ( talk) 10:11, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
Thanks, Ralbegen, for doing the table of constituency candidates. I'd remove the column for UKIP for now, unless there's an RS citation confirming they intend to stand candidates. Bondegezou ( talk) 16:20, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
Now that a lot of parties have se up their London-wide selections should we amalgamate them into one table? all the details about the parties could be put into a different section, either a Campaign or Candidates sub-section. Jonjonjohny ( talk) 18:08, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
Would some kindly help me understand the math of the region-wide vote share and how seats are allocated? I ask, because I'm not sure, for instance, how Labour garnered 40% of the region-wide vote and the Tories 29% of the vote, but they both ended up winning 3 list/regional seats. How are the constituency seats taken into account when allocating the regional seats? -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 08:37, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Additional question: This page has Shaun Bailey listed as a candidate for a London-wide seat on the assembly, but also listed as the Tory candidate for the 2021 London mayoral election. Is one of these pages out-of-date, or is it possible to be simultaneously selected to run for both? -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 10:08, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
Is there a need for the info box on the main page include the phrase "seats needed"? The electoral system is very different to a conventional parliament or council where overall control is won by winning 50%+1 seat. Littlemonday ( talk) 11:45, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
I think it is questionable whether we should include the Women's Equality Party among the other notable parties in the London-wide list candidates section. The party has no elected representatives at any level of government anywhere in London (no local councillors, no members of the London Assembly etc), nor has the party been included in opinion polls. It seems a bit out of place to mention it with equal prominence in this table alongside other parties with elected representation in London. Helper201 ( talk) 14:53, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
The vote for new parties in the '2021 London Assembly election (London-wide)' section should not be shown as 'New'. In 2016 the percentage for new parties was shown and change was shown as N/A, whereas in 2021 both columns for new parties show as 'New'. Dudley Miles ( talk) 08:53, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
I'm wondering about the maps in this article. There is quite a bit of redundancy in the results maps, and I think it should be cleaned up. I also wish to discuss the possible reversion of an edit by @ JDuggan: in which they replaced My Results Map with almost a complete duplicate, the current version on the page. My view on this is that my version should be restored since it was the first to be uploaded, but I'm wondering what everyone else thinks. (I asked this same question on JDuggan's talk page a few days ago, but they didn't respond, and I also wanted to hear outside opinions.) Anyway, I'm hoping we can come to a resolution. Thanks.

In the candidates section, a cross (†) is currently being used to denote candidates that are also standing for mayor of London. This looks to me like a 'died in office' symbol, so I'm not sure it's the best choice. Could a different symbol be used? If it's arbitrary, I like this one: ℳ. Otherwise, maybe just an (MC) for mayoral candidate? Is there any guidance on this in the style guides? 92.239.96.120 ( talk) 16:06, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
