England and Wales
editThe charts showing seat changes by party for England and for Wales don't balance. England shows +93 and -91. There are either two extra seats or two are missing. If you work from the actual 2005 numbers, two are missing because England had four more seats in 2010 than in 2005. If the starting place was the notional 2005 results using the 2010 boundaries, then there are two extra. One problem in the numbers is the speaker's seat. It is excluded from the Conservatives' numbers, thus not a part of its +/- calculation, but the speaker line also doesn't show a gain, even though Michael Martin's seat was in Scotland. One way or the other, the numbers are wrong.
Wales has a similar, if more simple, problem. As best I can tell, the +6/-5 discrepancy is purely typo, with someone having accidentally listed PC as gaining a seat rather than having no change. -Rrius (talk) 00:31, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
