Talk:2022 Philippine House of Representatives elections

Winning candidates per district Map

I suggest that someone must put a map of the Philippines with the winning candidates like in the 2019 elections. Eucalyptuskoala (talk) 21:11, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

I used to do this, but the base map I was using was wrong, and that someone else did a far superior SVG version in 2019, but we can't find him/her now. If anything, we'd have to be using SVG images from here on out. Howard the Duck (talk) 14:13, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Political spectrum column in the "Participating parties" section

ALB67 has changed what's displayed there (and the one found in the Senate election article) to one found in the individual articles. These used two WP:RS from Esquire Philippines which now sorta is not aligned with what's on the actual text. There are several problems with that:

• PDP-Laban: ALB67 changed this to "centre-left" from "center-left to left-wing," supposedly to match the article PDP-Laban, but that's uncited. The Esquire reference doesn't explicitly mention where in the spectrum the party is. I'd be ok with leaving this blank, but there are more recent articles stating this party is between center and left-wing.
• Nacionalista: ALB67 changed this to "centre-right" (MOS:TIES, but Philippine English uses "center" unless for proper nouns. This talk page screams "This article is written in Philippine English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, realize, center, travelled)" (emphasis mine). Another problem by ALB67's edit, sigh!) from "right-wing". Esquire says "largely 'right-wing'," while the article ranges from "Big tent" to "center right" with multiple references, none but one are supposedly newer than Esquire.
• NPC: ALB67 changed this to "centre-right" from "right-wing". The Esquire reference does use "center-right". The article uses "center-right" and does use the Esquire reference.
• NUP: ALB67 changed this to "centre-right" from "center to center-right". The Esquire reference uses "center to center-right". The article says "centre-right" but is uncited.
• Lakas: ALB67 changed this to "centre-right" "right-wing". The Esquire reference does use "center-right" and the article says it is "centre-right" with a different reference.
• Liberal: ALB67 changed this to "Center to center-left" to "centre to centre-left". Article uses "centre to centre-left" with two references including Esquire.

ALB67 should revert back the entries for this article; the Esquire article is from 2019; and none of the supposed references (if there are any) used in other articles (save for one in Nacionalista Party) are newer than that. These sections are meant to provide a snapshot of the parties on election day; and not a historical view of what the parties positions were in 1945, 1985 or 2015 (or even 2045). ALB67 should also use Philippine English in subjects about the Philippines unless stated otherwise. Therefore, s/he should restore the "center" spelling instead of "centre" not just in this article but in others s/he may have edited. That's the very least you can do, ALB67.

This has been here for almost a year, and sadly, ALB67 has never responded to this. I've tagged his changes of political spectrum as "failed verification", and reverted his usage of non-Philippine English spelling. I'll be reverting his changes re: political spectrum in a week if ALB67 still doesn't respond. Howard the Duck (talk) 22:16, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

HTML box is hideous on mobile/desktop.

Seriously, who thought this was a good idea? Put the top parties in the info box with handy stats. This is ri-god damn-diculous. 104.219.133.105 (talk) 14:14, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Have to agree here, Having this many parties is what results sections are for. This is ridiculous, unhelpful and harms the ease of use. 2 brown eyes (talk) 04:29, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

The Philippine House of Representatives is the legislative chamber with the most number of parties in the world. In the FPTP election, there were 25+ winning parties, and in the party-list election, there were 55+ winning parties. Let's imagine, in the FPTP election, we'd only list the parties that won 10 or more seats, that's six parties with just less than 75% of the vote, and 80% of the seats contested in the FPTP election. Do we do that in other countries? In the party-list election, the top performing party can only win up to 3 of the 63 seats contested, leading to a very fractured result. If we'd list the parties that crossed the 2% threshold, we'd have 6 parties, with 17.51% of the vote, and 21% of the seats contested. Again, we don't do that for other countries' elections. If we'd use the other infobox, it won't show the whole story, or even 90% of the story. Howard the Duck (talk) 10:15, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

So I've edited the infobox where I lumped the parties with single digit seats in the FPTP election, and less than 2% of the vote in the partylist election as "Others". This should reduce the entries to 7 each per election type for this election. I'm planning to do this as well on post-1987 House elections. Howard the Duck (talk) 21:58, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
