Talk:1935 New Zealand general election

Seat numbers
I can't seem to make the numbers add up to 80. They only amount to 77 seats won. It says that Reform won 9 seats and United won 7 seats. Which I can't get to make sense. In this article on page 110 it says that Nationals won 17+2 seats. Then in this Wikipedia article it says "The coalition went into the 1935 election under the title of the "National Political Federation" - All this is also supported by this chart: This is my first comment on Wikipedia.

 * You're right. The table doesn't add up, and it also doesn't match the Electorate results below (I count 7 independents). According to Nohlen's book, the difference is in the United/Reform seats – the book has them at 19 seats, three more than in the results table. My guess is that the three independents who were affiliated with the United/Reform coalition have been omitted from the main results table (which is why there are only four independents listed). As they are listed in the Electorate table as independents, I'll bump them up to 7 in the main table. Number   5  7  22:14, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
