Talk:2006 Blaenau Gwent by-elections

message: Why has the LibDem Colour changed to a dull orange, it should be gold.
Plaids new coulour should be yellow (same as the SNP) and Plaid should still be green for all election upto and including May 2005.
:It's one of the problems we have with the Metaframe colour system. The LibDem colour was gold but it looks/ed very similar to the Plaid Yellow. The LibDem gold has been changed as a consequence of the Plaid move. 
As for Plaid changing colour up to a certain point - that is simply not possible using the system used here. Look at Aberavon - the Plaid and LibDem colours next to each other (as yellow and gold) looked almost as one shared block. doktorb | words 13:41, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: As well as on this page, List of UK by-elections and Blaenau Gwent (UK Parliament constituency) will need a consistent position on what to list Law's party affiliation as. List of UK by-elections (1950 - 1979) lists S. O. Davies as Independent Labour and I think the two are sufficiently similar that the same label should be used for each. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Timrollpickering 10:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Peter Law won the constituency as "independent", which is the tag used in the 2005 article election box, so convention would suggest using just this word. The SO Davies case is very similar but they're not the same person, just the same situation, so I would go for "Independent". doktorb | words 10:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think "Independent" for the same reasons. —Whouk (talk) 14:35, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I should add that it's perhaps different for the Welsh Assembly by-election as he was elected as Labour. —Whouk (talk) 14:36, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Also if a candidate does stand for Westminster with the backing of Law's supporters it may make sense to regard them as the "defending candidate" for calculating percentage changes etc.... Unless they go and use a party label and it gets messy... Timrollpickering 15:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Even if they use the BGPVG label on the ballot paper (are they a registered party?), it still seems reasonable, as long as it's explained in the article. —Whouk (talk) 17:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the Electoral Commission the BGPVG are not a registered party. doktorb | words 09:22, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
