Talk:List of United Kingdom by-elections (1931–1950)

Untitled
I thought George Brown Hillman (Wakefield) 1932 was Labour? I think the last time the Tories won it was 1924. RodCrosby


 * (Checks The Times guide.) No they took it in 1931 with a majority of 4107 - the Labour majority in 1929 was not spectacular and notionally weak once the Conservative and Liberal votes were pooled. Timrollpickering 23:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


 * In which case MPs elected in the UK general election, 1931 needs editing... RodCrosby


 * I've discovered from constructing the List of (PARTY) MPs articles that the parties listed in the MPs elected in the UK general election... articles have quite a few errors - if I find the time, it'd be good to give them a thorough run over. Warofdreams talk 23:07, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

"East Fife by-election of 1933"
THe Eric Linklater article says: "He stood, unsuccessfully, in the East Fife by-election of 1933 as the National Party of Scotland candidate." There is no mention of such an election here. Is that information just plain wrong? --Mais oui! 10:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * No, the section on 1931 - 35 currently lists only by-elections where a seat changed hands. Chances are that the information is correct. Warofdreams talk 21:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh, yes, ta, I hadn't spotted that inconspicuous "Only seats which changed hands are listed" in among all those bright colours and footnotes! Talking of "bright colours": while I am here, why are the Liberals/Lib Dems shown as yellow on these pages, and the SNP as orange? It should be the other way around! Or, rather, I believe the correct Lib Dem colour is more of a gold. Either way, orange is totally incorrect for the SNP: yellow is their main colour, secondary is a lilac/purple called "heather", and thirdly they use a blue (Pantone 300) a lot too - colour of the saltire. --Mais oui! 00:12, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Brecon and Radnorshire 1939
Ivor Guest's party affiliation is a total mess - as there isn't an article on him I think Talk:Brecon and Radnorshire (UK Parliament constituency) is the best place for this. Timrollpickering 21:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Accuracy
This article does not list what it says it does. It lists only by-elections 1945-50 2A00:23C4:6AA1:8201:8C37:3E71:414:89C8 (talk) 13:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Hemsworth 17 May 1934
The outgoing MP was not John Guest. He had stood down at the previous general election. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.23.149.4 (talk) 11:15, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
