Liberal swing - note about combined parties
Maybe there should be a note (in the infobox) that the swing for the Liberals is calculated based on the 1922 results for the Liberals and the National Liberals combined. 88.108.49.117 (talk) 19:30, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

umm
In the results table, it has Labour in bold but looks like Conservative was the one who won. Shouldn't Conservative be in bold, not Labour? 2603:6011:9600:52C0:1513:7942:1670:1E56 (talk) 07:34, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Errors and omissions
Why are the Ulster Unionists omitted from the results table, despite winning 11 seats? I'm also noticing anomalies in JMPhillips92's map. Seats won by the UUP are shown in lilac on the map itself, but this is not the colour that appears in the Zacwill (talk) 16:40, 6 December 2023 (UTC)


 * (As an aside, can I say that I hate the practice of putting legends in file descriptions instead of in the files themselves? The effect of this is that when images get shared outside Wikipedia, as they inevitably do, much-needed context is lost.) Zacwill (talk) 16:59, 6 December 2023 (UTC)


 * The UUP was part of the Conservative Party in this period and is included in its total. There used to be a note to that effect which seems to have been removed over the years. Warofdreams talk 23:29, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Composition diagram - liberal placement
So I've been making a choice about including westminster style apportionment diagrams on more UK general election. However, I'm up against a bit of a wall here as to which side of the diagram the Liberals should be on.

Option 1 - Liberals on opposition benches Option 2 - Liberals on Crossbenches Option 3 - Liberals on Government benches Any thoughts? DimensionalFusion  (talk)  11:44, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * This is probably more accurate as they were not technically part of the government, but just looks completely ludicruous on the diagram.
 * Probably more of a compromise option, shows that the Liberals supported Labour on key votes but were not part of the government benches
 * Not sure about this one, as the Liberals were not in coalition with the government so had no ministers- however without Liberal support, Labour would have been unable to perform government or win confidence motions.
