Talk:United Kingdom general election, 1951

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is it an accident that Sinn Féin got exactly the same number of votes as in the election of 1950? Is it a mistake? Martinwilke1980 18:07, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Well spotted - they didn't even stand in this election (see [1] for source). Warofdreams talk 00:42, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Why is Labour in "poll position" if the Tories actually won? Shouldn't it be Conservative listed first, then Labour? Crowqueen 03:05, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

As with all articles in the series, the parties are listed in order of number of votes. If we used number of seats won, a party contesting a single seat which narrowly won would appear above a party which won a decent vote across the country, without winning any.
