Partygate

I think the text on partygate is too much for the current page and a small sentence with a link to the partygate page would be suffice. Do you agree? Jord656 (talk) 17:32, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No. I think you need enough that people can understand events when just reading this page, and I think we currently achieve that. It’s not a huge amount of text! Bondegezou (talk) 18:05, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Official list of candidates published

Please remove the unscientific and biased poll from this article

As tge article itself clearly states, "the poll has been criticised for sampling issues, and under-representing the young". As it is not a reliable poll, it should not be included on Wikipedia. 2.100.64.182 (talk) 11:22, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since the article provides that caveat I think the poll should stay. 87.75.117.183 (talk) 11:31, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incumbent

could someone remove BJ as the incumbent as it won't let me Jord656 (talk) 17:47, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Johnson centric

I still feel that this page is very Boris centric, yes there should be a link and a short description, but I feel that if we are going to put history/background ot should be for the seat itself and not focusing on BJ and partygate, for which there is a separate wiki page Jord656 (talk) 11:46, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. There is a separate Wiki page about the constituency too, so, sorry, I don't understand the argument you are advancing there. It seems to me -- and, more importantly, to reliable sources -- that the reason for the by-election is likely to impact on the result of the by-election.

That said, it you have more material to add about the campaign, more RS to draw on, then I'm all for those. The proportion of the article on Johnson and his resignation should fall because the rest of the article should grow. Bondegezou (talk) 13:29, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ULEZ

Since ULEZ expansion is believed to have been a major factor in the outcome shouldn't it be mentioned that ULEZ was introduced by Boris Johnson when he was the London mayor and that Khan's decision to extend it to outer London was approved by the then Secretary of State for Transport, Grant Shapps, working for Tory PM Johnson? 87.75.117.183 (talk) 11:37, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
