I know we should try to use the correct colours, but black text on a strong blue background isn't the prettiest arrangement. I suggest we wait for the results to be completed and then rearrange the table layouts to have the colour in a separate column. violet/riga (t) 17:41, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
Are the people working on this page aware of the almost identical in purpose wikinews page? wikinews:Results of 2005 United Kingdom General Election
The wikinews page has a better layout, and is more complete in most areas, but lacks the +- percentage information in many places. The use of foreground colours solves the problem violet/riga mentions above.
A merge seems sensible. WikianJim 18:37, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
Ok, any objections to me setting foreground colours like on the wikinews page, and giving table columns widths by percentage? This is easy to do with search/replace, see
here

While I think the new colours are better I still think that it needs to be changed so that we don't have writing over the party colours. We now how red and blue links on blue backgrounds. violet/riga (t) 19:46, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
As this page is edging on 100kb - 3 times the 'preferable' value, surely we are going to have to split it up in the end - anyone agree?
We don't vote for parties in the UK, we vote for individuals. There's a lot of names to be added, but fortunately with a wiki system we can spread the load. Who's up for it? -- Bonalaw 12:16, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

; but
MPs elected in the UK general election, 2005 already does it by candidate name (admitedly, in alphabetical as opposed to geographical constituency order, and, unfortunately, without party colours), so we really need to make sure that, if we have an article for parties and one specifically for MPs, they don't become dupes of each other.Yorkshire and Humberside includes a section North Yorkshire and East Riding, but this doesn't quite work as Scunthorpe, Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes were in Lincolnshire before the 1974 reorganisation. Brigg and Goole spans both pre-1974 Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Any ideas?
I will say I understand little about all this data. There is a suggestion to move the data here to Wikisource. s:2005 UK general election already exits but it looks different from the data on this page to a layman. Could someone check it out and compare the two before moving information wholesale to Wiisource?-- Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 20:48, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Is there any source for the number of new people to the electoral roll, and the number of people who fall off it? Preferably for the individual constituencies?
I don't mean simply the net change of people on the roll, but the raw numbers of how many new electors? Or how many left the electoral roll? It would also be useful to find the number of people voting who didn't last time.
I think this would be very useful in analysing changing vote patterns: for example it would shed light on whether Labour voters are switching to Liberal or whether the Liberal voters are primarily new voters and the Labour voters are staying at home. BillMasen 18:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
