Talk:1945 United Kingdom general election

Colonialism factor
I read in multiple sources that Britain's overseas territories were also one major talking point particularly regarding India. The British outlook on colonialism seems to have changed drastically since their war against the racist Nazis. Particularly people began to be inclined towards Gandhiji, while Churchill was making remarks like "Oh famine in Bengal, hasnt that Gandhi fellow died yet" I think this needs to be included as well 11:49, 5 October 2021 (UTC)LostCitrationHunter (talk)

47% or 49%?
The infobox and results table both say that Labour won 47.7% of the popular vote but the number provided in the results table is actually 49.7% (same as in the popular vote bar chart). I was unable to access a source to find which number is accurate, does anyone know which one it might be? Zerothenerd (talk) 12:48, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Total votes cast?
This article reports 24,073,025 total votes cast, but the House of Commons Library cites 25,095,195 while the results table adds up to 24,493,845; since I am not from the U.K. I wanted to ask before making changes in case I'm misunderstanding something. What is the source for the 24.1 million number?
