Talk:1981 Belgian general election

Untitled
I guess there is a mistake in the number of seats in this article. It is supposed to be 212, however I count only 210 seats. Furthermore, the "Democratic Union for Respect and Labor" (RAD-UDRT) is not listed that received 2,7% and 3 seats. "Vlams Blok" only received 1 seat that would bring the total to 212 seats Source: http://www.binghamton.edu/cdp/era/elections/bel81par.html

The numbers were suspicious --- 4 parties have the same score of 2.3%!! If you look at the Catalan version of this page, there are wholly different percentages. As you wrote the UDRT-RAD had a big success that year, and this is present in the Catalan pages not the English, so I'm inclined to believe the Catalan numbers. The total was 212 seats (now 150) so that total would be correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.169.249.202 (talk) 16:59, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

SP
SP doesn't refer to the flemish party but to the german party (PFF & CSP also run with their walloon counterparts). They only run in Arrondissement of Verviers Braganza (talk) 16:23, 3 January 2024 (UTC)


 * they also run together in 1985 but appearently they are even just listed as PS in the national results Braganza (talk) 16:30, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah sorry, my bad. However, I am still not convinced this is an improvement to the results table – it makes it quite a bit harder to read and I'm not sure there is a massive benefit? Number   5  7  17:02, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * UDRT is shown as three different parties which imo quite missleading (you can see it ofc but if it was centralized it would be better) and PCB/KPB should be split too if we go by the official results Braganza (talk) 17:15, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * TBH, I think it would just be better to merge all the parties (like this), which I think makes the table much more readable. Number   5  7  18:37, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
