There is a discrepancy here with the main Jarrow (UK Parliament constituency) article in that here the change in the Conservative vote share says new, but the main Jarrow article goes with +3.5%. The difference is in whether the 1947 Conservative total is considered to be a continuation of the 1945 general election total polled by the National Liberal Party's candidate or not. By 1945 the National Liberals and Conservatives were fully allied and never ran candidates against each other and indeed in May 1947 they formally merged. I think this means that the totals can be compared for vote share change, but at any rate the two articles should probably adopt the same approach for consistency, otherwise it could cause confusion. What do others think? Dunarc (talk) 22:47, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
