Talk:2015 United Kingdom general election in England

Starting Page[edit]

I have created for the very first time election page devoted is purely the results that will take place in England alone I believe that because of the rise of UKIP, the Greens and other smaller parties as support for the mainstream political parties waivers that England needs to have its own page to reflect this within this part of the United Kingdom!

No That would just duplicate the information on the main United Kingdom general election, 2015 page. - Arjayay (talk) 07:29, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the main 2015 uk election talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.5.25.42 (talk) 08:03, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New Info Box[edit]

I've added a new info box for the upcoming general election within England to match the new info box that is on the main UK page. (46.65.97.8 (talk) 20:13, 5 May 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Should we keep the ordinary infobox for this page though? AusLondonder (talk) 20:35, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The 'new' one looks inappropriate for a FPTP election where there are only really three players. Also e should review the number of parties and whether Greens & Respect (poss. even UKIP) should be there. Cryptographic.2014 (talk) 21:22, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A text editor's find-and-replace command speeds up fixing tables. --Timeshifter (talk) 16:29, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Even Notepad (basic text editor that comes with Windows) will work. The replace command in the edit menu of Notepad. --Timeshifter (talk) 15:07, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Add UKIP to infobox?[edit]

Considering UKIP won ~15% of the vote, ahead of the Liberal Democrats, they should be included. They do meet the threshold of being above 5% of the vote, and they did win a seat. DragonLegit04 (talk) 22:22, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
