Why does this need to be mentioned for the 1919 elections? We don't have the vote totals for any other election, and it really doesn't seem to be of any particular importance. Number  5  7  18:40, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Why would this not be relevant? If we can get vote totals from the other elections as well, the better. --Soman (talk) 18:45, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I just don't understand why it is worth having in the article. Standing alone, it's completely meaningless - what does 11,000 mean in the greater scheme of things? If it were a % I could understand, as that has some context, but 11,000 by itself is pointless (11,000 out of 100,000 or 1,000,000?). Number   5  7  18:47, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * But % and absolute numbers are relevant. 11,000 votes means 11,000 people voted for the party, it's a sign of relevance independent of the size of the country. I propose trying to complete more details, so we can get % and absolute numbers for all the elections the party contested. --Soman (talk) 04:06, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * But 11,000 is not relevant if the country is a big one - if a party got 11,000 votes in a British election, they would be considered a tiny fringe party, whereas if a party got 11,000 votes in Iceland, it would be reasonably significant – context is required. The only data which I think the article really needs is the number of seats won at each election, as that is the real measure of success. Number   5  7  06:53, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
