Talk:Results breakdown of the 2019 United Kingdom general election

Seats changing hands

Shouldn't the seats changing hands be based upon the winning party in the 2017 election, and not a dissolution? Jopal22 (talk) 12:37, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

@Jopal22: I just based it off of whatever the Guardian said.^[1] –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 16:12, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

@MJL: Okay, I just thought I'd highlight it, as I don't think that was the approach in 2017 (e.g. Richmond Park was not shown as a Lib Dem to Con). Also Liverpool Wavertree (UK Parliament constituency) should be shown as LibDem to Labour under the Guardian's method? Let's see if anyone else has an opinion.

@Jopal22: Added. I missed that one. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 18:46, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Colne Valley and Keighley seem to be missing from the list of Con gains from Lab. 94.197.17.123 (talk) 19:17, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Where are these numbers from?

The numbers don't seem to agree with either themselves or the source.

For example, the table states that there were 13,966,565 votes cast for the Conservatives and 31,829,630 votes cast in total, which would make the Conservative voteshare 43.9%, yet the table states the percentage as 43.6%

Meanwhile, the source provided is a BBC article that agrees with that voteshare percentage but gives a different number for votes cast for the Conservatives: 13,966,451

Here's the link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2019/results

Is this just a problem with finding accurate data this soon after the election?

Blank and invalid votes

Does the UK system not count them? The turnout rate is only a guess without them.--Aréat (talk) 00:11, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
