Talk:United Kingdom general elections overview

Dear Friends. I would like to correct the following website: United Kingdom general elections overview https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_elections_overview In the table of electorial results for the years 1924, 1923, 1922, there are absent the Title and Results of the Co-operative Party that contested single these elections! The Co-operative Party got in these elections 5-6-4 MP¨s!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-operative_Party And only after the Cheltenham Agreement with the Labour party (1927) begining 1929 gen. election started the Co-operative Party contesting in Association with the Labour Party! And special question. Why are the Labour Party´s electorial results (begining GE 1929 to 2017 stated so historically uncorrect and not simple devided in results of each contesting Party? For example: GE 2017: Labour Party 282 (LP 244 + CP 38) / 650 (seats)

Outline
Why is the written in reverse chronological order? A History should begin at the oldest point in time, and move forward. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.78.221 (talk) 01:41, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

It has still not been updated following the 2015 elections. --Andrew of Ware (talk) 19:18, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Will this page be updated after the election this year please?  SmokeyTheCat   •TALK•  18:45, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Those not voting
These should also be included on the graph as they are a large and growing percentage of the population who feel that no party represents them.  SmokeyTheCat   •TALK•  20:04, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

I realise that this is a 6 year old comment, but I suspect such a feeling still applies. It is, then, worth pointing out that those who cannot be bothered to vote are irrelevant as concerns the result of an election except with regards to turnout. dpchalmers (talk) 10:52, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
