message: As a suggestion, shouldn't the results of the Anti-Assembly Ulster Unionists, DUP and Vanguard be classed as one bloc (albeit separate parties within it)?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.152.249.92 (talk) 14:28, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

message: I notice that the map wrongly shows Aberdeenshire East as a Labour seat when it was won by the SNP (Douglas Henderson). Can someone change this - I don't know how to.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.190.110.75 (talk) 10:03, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

message: I wonder if saying "Prominent members of Parliament who retired or were defeated at this election included: Gordon Campbell, Bernadette McAliskey, Enoch Powell..." is problematic. While Powell did not stand in the election (and so could be said to have retired), unlike the rest mentioned he returned as an MP at the October election having joined the Ulster Unionist Party, and I wonder if his inclusion here could be misunderstood as saying this marked his final departure from Westminster? I also wonder if this list is in danger of being a bit point of view on the importance it places to notable MPs who did not stand or were defeated. For instance the defeat former Labour minister, and front-bench spokesman Goronwy Roberts might be expected to be mentioned and the retirement of the long-severing Conservative MP Irene Ward who at that time had served longer in parliament than any other woman.

message: The UUUC alliance stood as one group in this election. Rather than merely being an electoral pact, they even campaigned using joint literature and campaign material, and confirmed they would sit in the ensuing Parliament as one cohesive bloc. In total they won 11 seats, which put them ahead of the SNP who won 7 and so, given the political circumstances of the time should be listed as the fourth party in the info box rather than the SNP. If the logic of listing them as three separate parties is followed then the SDP and Liberals should be listed separately for the 1983 and 1987 elections.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.21.25.193 (talk) 19:40, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
