Number of voters?

Adding up the BBC list, it appears the number of voters is 28,801,848. Adding up the parties in this list it comes out higher at 28,805,931. Which is correct? Eastwood Park and strabane (talk) 22:53, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistencies

A few inconsistencies I noted in the infoboxes that I was wondering how to resolve them. First, the vote totals are rounded to two decimal places while no other figures, such as seat percent or even vote swing, are. Second, the inclusion of the increase and decrease symbols differs from previous iterations of the infobox and from the decrease turnout at the bottom of the infobox. In my opinion, the first should be changed to either be all be rounded to one decimal place, which also fits with how UK results are presented more generally, or to change the swing to be rounded to two decimal places. For the second, I think it should be presented with increase and decrease across the board. AnOpenBook (talk) 23:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reform sorted third?

Why are the Full results auto sorted so that Reform UK appears by default in third place? Has a Reform UK supporter been at work trying to aggrandise their party? Romomusicfan (talk) 12:29, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the full results have been sorted by vote counts. Eastwood Park and strabane (talk) 14:11, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is indeed the case, as it has been for all previous full results tables. CR (talk) 16:56, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I think that's fine. I know there's been a lot of argument on the main article talk page about (IMHO artificially) adapting other sections of that page to put various minor parties higher. But this is is only part of the main article that is sorted in this order, and it makes sense that something should be. GenevieveDEon (talk) 10:03, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
