Brexit[edit]

The Brexit Party Should be added as a seperate column on this list. Also, UKIP Should probably be either be removed and included under others. 92.238.46.204 (talk) 12:09, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Split by country[edit]

The table is enormous. I think splitting it up into the 4 countries of the UK will make the page a lot easier to navigate. I'll start doing that now. TheMysteriousEditor (talk) 13:44, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can we please go back to the single table format? All older general elections were reported in a single table and that is more convenient for people scraping wikipedia for data collection and analysis. Ggilestro (talk) 17:55, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, splitting these tables makes the data significantly less usable, e.g. it's no longer possible to rank Lab/Con results in Welsh constituencies alongside English ones. It was already possible to look at particular countries by sorting on the region column on previous tables, this needlessly hardcodes it. 82.4.185.182 (talk) 21:09, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree single table format makes the data more accessible. Can we also add ONS/GSS identifiers? You can find them in the Google Doc I linked to below. This makes it a lot easier to match to other datasets, as there is no standard naming convention for constituencies (cf. various permutations of "Torridge and West Devon", "Devon West & Torridge", etc) Johnsandall (talk) 00:01, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Spreadsheet[edit]

Compiled a quick spreadsheet from data from DemocracyClub. Feel free to use it https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nPMUEiNFXW5yWDrJe8XRXRSlgvWi_IxRQ7yXoAUxBj4/edit?folder=0AA2udoOpDya3Uk9PVA#gid=1343023389. Filinovich (talk) 16:46, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am curious if you compiled this from their API, and had to source the pages separately from within the DeocracyClub pages. It's not obvious to me how to generate this spreadsheet from their web pages. -- Yellowdesk (talk) 17:30, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I copied-pasted the data from https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/elections/parl.2019-12-12/ directly into a spreadsheet in one paste, then used some basic functions to read the lines with relevant information and ignore others. If you'd like more details, I can probably remake the sheet that dealt with that quite easily. Filinovich (talk) 01:29, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I will explore, and reach out if needed. -- Yellowdesk (talk) 18:58, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If it's useful, I scraped the following direct from the BBC on morning after election day. It has all constituencies in. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vuLS04XbYRNji_qIJ6JsFh7y6eW9vA7KMTn89u_cZl8/edit#gid=1295045003 Johnsandall (talk) 00:01, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Results[edit]

Hi guys, I’m happy to go through and fill in the results tomorrow if someone could ref the BBC results for me? Naihreloe (talk) 22:45, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Marjority[edit]

It is odd to be using "marjority" to indicate a mere plurality winner's winning amount to the next most popular candidate. Isn't there a better word than that? -- Yellowdesk (talk) 18:56, 16 December 2019 (UTC) (late signature)[reply]

"Majority" is the word used in Britain in this context. 82.4.185.182 (talk) 21:11, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cartogram[edit]

The cartogram looks awful Notunawesomeatall (talk) 03:17, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The spreadsheet's stated total in England does not match up with the actual total of the spreadsheet, I calculated it using excel (and got 26,911,850), might want to check it out... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.190.33.254 (talk) 04:29, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
