This CFD relates to the subcategories by nation and replaces an earlier CFD at WP:CFD#Category:Members_of_the_United_Kingdom_Parliament_from_Irish_constituencies_.281801-1922.29

It is one of two proposals which were originally made by me on 4 November 2006 at Category_talk:British_MPs#Renaming_subcategories_after_restructuring. I had hoped to leave that discussion to run for longer, in order to involve more people in exploring the issues, before hopefully reaching some sort of consensus on a proposal or set of proposals to bring to CFD.

However, the CFD above by Smerus brought the issue to a head more quickly, with a different proposal. Rather than have to separate CFDs relating to the same categories, it seemed better to start a new CFD, and Smerus has kindly agreed to withdraw the existing nomination to allow a new one to proceed.

The background to both these nominations is that all MPs elected to Westminster were originally categorised under the single Category:British MPs. This was both unwieldy and innacurate, because there have been three parliaments at Westminster:

This CFD relates solely to Category:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament, i.e. MPs since 1801.
