Seat figures[edit]

I see there is disagreement between the Nohlen et al book (an academic compendium of election results) and the Tal book on politics. It's difficult to know which is more likey to be correct, but I do need convincing that it's a good idea to change away from the Nohlen source, particularly as it is used for the vast majority of the the other Jordanian election results.

@Number 57: I think lawrence's source is more accurate, it mentions the Hizb Al-Tahrir MP that didn't give his confidence to Nabulsi's government, 39 out of 40 voted for... Also theres no mention of the Communist MP Abdullah Rimawi that participated in Nabulsi's government. Makeandtoss (talk) 21:32, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Number 57: I will revert you for the time being as evidence points out that Lawrence is more reliable. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:37, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Makeandtoss: (apologies for the delay in responding) What evidence is that? I am confused by your statement about Rimawi as he was from the Ba'ath Party not the Communists, at least according to his article. Number 57 10:40, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Number 57: [1] Avi Shlaim also uses the same data as Lawrence's. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:46, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Makeandtoss: Could I have a page link please? Cheers, Number 57 11:07, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Number 57: I did link it. sc => [2]. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:08, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, the first link just takes me to the info page about the book, not a page in it. Convinced now, I will self-revert. Cheers, Number 57 11:11, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Number 57: I sincerely hope the rest of the data sourced from Nohlen are correct. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:20, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
