Talk:1857 United Kingdom general election

Untitled
176 + 148 total 324 which looks too small. Should surely be about 650. Tabletop 09:46, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Indeed, from the previous and following elections, it looks like it should be 654. Phlogistomania 20:44, May 8, 2005 (UTC)

The link that was used and still is there seems wrong? Why is the number so low? Now the new numbers are low too. The combined total is 641. Surely that's wrong? All the other elections in that time period have 652 to 658 MPS. JurijFedorov (talk) 13:20, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

When?
When did the election take place? The Times, Saturday, Mar 21, 1857; pg. 12; Issue 22634; col A has an article "Election intelligence" on prearations for the Election. Vernon White '''. . . Talk''' 22:09, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Oldest person?
I removed a sentence which said that Palmerston was the oldest person ever to win an election, before realising that the sentence had been altered and previously said he was the oldest person to win an election for the first time. But even with that qualification it still isn't true, since Churchill was 76 when he won his first (and only) election victory in 1951, having previously become PM in 1940 without an election having taken place.

Map
Why are there red seats in the map? They are not mentioned in the article 2A02:6B66:873:0:4D2E:6908:449F:4191 (talk) 23:51, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
