Talk:North Tayside (UK Parliament constituency)

Name?

I'm pretty sure this article should actually be at North Tayside (UK Parliament constituency) - the form with the compass point at the front was followed for all other County Constituencies created in 1997, and the form with the compass point at the end was used for all Borough Constituencies. See the Statutory Instrument that set the Scottish constituencies up. — sjorford++ 16:32, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

The BBC has it listed as Tayside North in 2001, while Ask Aristotle at The Guardian has it listed as Tayside North in 1992 and North Tayside in 1997. Assuming that Ask Aristotle is correct on the date that the name changed you have three elections under the name Tayside North (1983, 1987 & 1992) against two elections under the name North Tayside (1997 & 2001). The constituency was abolished at the 2005 election so there is no current name to consider. As one name redirects to the other and both appear correct I see little need for a rename. Regards.
