Talk:Glasgow Hillhead (UK Parliament constituency)

1983 'gain' status
While it says here SDP gain from Conservative, the Times Guide to the House of Commons 1983 indicates that on the new boundaries introduced for the 1983 election Labour would have gained the seat in 1979 (and so counts it as a Labour loss.) Indeed it included much of the old Glasgow Kelvingrove seat held by Neil Carmichael who was the Labour candidate for Hillhead in 1983. Given Jenkins had won the old Hillhead might SDP win be a more appropriate description. Dunarc (talk) 16:02, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I have changed this to SDP gain from Labour and put in some relevant cited text to explain the situation. Dunarc (talk) 20:49, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Created from in infobox
I have changed this from Glasgow Partick to Partick. The former article relates to the constituency created in 1918 at the same time as Hillhead. The latter is the seat which included what would become Hillhead and was originally not part of Glasgow, but a division of Lanarkshire. Dunarc (talk) 16:25, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
