Speaker's seat
editShould not be included in the Labour total. Please sort it out. Sumorsǣte (talk) 13:02, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
There's no good reason to include the Speaker - who stands as the Speaker seeking re-election and against whom the Conservatives didn't stand as a result - in Labour's vote tally. This should be corrected, with the Speaker displayed separately from both Labour and the Conservatives.
Lib Dem Losses
editThe table had the Lib Dems as losing two English seats that they won in 2017, but in fact they lost three seats to the Conservatives North Norfolk, Eastbourne and Carshalton and Wallington, so I have amended the table to reflect this. Dunarc (talk) 19:08, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
Conservative figures in table and info box
editThe figures for the Conservatives in the main table look to be wrong. It states the party had a net gain of 47, gaining 49 seats, but losing 2. However the Conservatives lost 3 English seats they had won in 2017 - Putney (to Labour) as well as St Albans and Richmond Park to the Lib Dems. So the Conservative loss total should be 3 so either the net gains are 46 or the Conservatives gained 50 seats and lost 3 if the 47 figure is correct. However the info box has the Conservatives at 48 net gains despite stating a change from 296 in 2017 to 345 in 2019 (which of course is a difference of 47). I am not sure if there is confusion over Buckingham being a gain from the speaker, but clearly something is wrong here. Dunarc (talk) 23:55, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
Why do you count the Speaker seat as Labour seat?
editIts confusing and does not add up to 202 seats Labour had won at the election 2019.
You are showing the number of Labour seats for England at 180 while it should be 179. In Scotland Labour has been victorious in only one seat plus 22 seats in Wales which adds up to the 202 seats Labour has won and this is the number being shown in the wikipedia article about the latest UK general election.

Please decrease the number of Labour seats won in England to 179 and to 41 in the North West region.
Results in constituencies
editIt would be meaningful to list the results of each constituency (electoral district) here or in the UK election article, at least the percentage of votes for the leading candidate, perhaps also for two or three trailing ones. I believe that is more relevant than, for example, county averages. Meerwind7 (talk) 10:55, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
