Party identifications[edit]

Anyone have more info on party identifications? The parties of the winners are known, but not generally those of other candidates. Both the Democratic Party and the DLP ran candidates in all 17 electorates.--IdiotSavant (talk) 21:31, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reference for your last sentence? That would contradict the article, which gives only Independents in several constituencies.--Roentgenium111 (talk) 21:37, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's because when I made those tables, I classed everyone as "independent" unless I could confirm their party identification.
According to this, the DLP intended to run in all 17 constituencies. According to this they had at least 5 candidates. I've only been able to identify two so far, so we do need to identify more. --IdiotSavant (talk) 03:19, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I see. But then I must request that you remove the "Independent" descriptions from all the candidates you don't know to be independents, since they're just speculation. You might use "Unknown" as the default value for the "Party" column instead for them. --Roentgenium111 (talk) 14:33, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nobles[edit]

It should be mentioned that all nobles who ran won. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 12:19, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They didn't. That's not how it works. Nobles don't officially stand as candidates. The thirty-or-so voters from the nobility elect nine representatives among themselves, by constituency, without anyone formally being a candidate. I imagine, though, that if a particular noble did not want to be elected, he would say so in advance to his fellow nobles in his constituency.
On the other hand, I'm puzzled by the result in the Niuas. I was under the impression that all nobles had voted, and in 2008 Niuas had three voters. If all three voted, how could one of them be elected with one vote? Did the other two vote blank? Aridd (talk) 15:56, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
