It's an idea. But shoudl we have sub pages of all the voteing. example:

2001 UK general election/Beckenham Reults

Then on the page the results for that constitunecy.

I personally would feel that would be too much balkanization. If you want to put this type of information on Wikipedia, I would suggest putting it on a page called Beckenham constituency (etc.), so that results from other elections and general information on the constituency (geography, history, list of MPs voted from the constituency and whatever else you can think of) can be added on the same page.

Khendon: I think in U.S. usage "landslide" is definitely "a large victory". I don't know if this might confuse anyone.

The OED says "a sweeping electoral victory" -- GWO

Hmm. Interesting. I can't find anything supporting my position. Ho hum. - Khendon 11:42 Oct 1, 2002 (UTC)


I've converted the list of elections to a table - it seemed like dates and majorities would be useful, and it was too much info not to use a table. Is it OK? Any thoughts? --rbrwr
