David Sidwick

Why is David Sidwick, Dorset PCC, listed as an independent? His own website describes him as Conservative? 2A00:23C5:BA8A:BF01:3539:A3D0:E8C7:A6A5 (talk) 21:54, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Humour

What is the deference between a pin's head and the odds of at Conservative victory. The pin's head is much bigger. 194.120.133.6 (talk) 04:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

English local elections

Is there a reason for this article being called "2024 United Kingdom local elections" instead of "2024 English local elections", there are only 'local' elections in England not accross the whole of the UK LandmarkFilly54 (talk) 12:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are PCC elections in Wales, and the YYYY United Kingdom local elections article series is a well-established framework for local elections occurring in whichever parts of the UK are holding them in that year. Ralbegen (talk) 14:02, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Local By Elections

Someone started a section for local by elections being held on the same day in councils not up this year and it was deleted. What is wrong with including this section?

Council by-elections take place throughout the year. There is nothing different about ones which coincide with the topic of the article, which are scheduled local elections. If we were going to include council by-elections on this page it would not make sense to limit them to those on the same day as other local elections. (We shouldn't include them here—they make more sense in individual council election articles). Ralbegen (talk) 17:03, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@RandomAmber:, @Realnoahsimpson:, @Alextheconservative: These council by-elections are being held on the same day so I thought they should be mentioned. Moondragon21 (talk) 18:22, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agreed they should be mentioned. Perhaps a new rule can be set it only applies to ones where the council is not up. the same for the general election later this year. Bentley4 (talk) 00:04, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bentley4: That is a good idea. Should I re-add them? Moondragon21 (talk) 21:50, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think there should be more of a consensus first but i'm not opposed to it being re-added. Bentley4 (talk) 15:23, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They happen to be on the same day, but that that's just trivia, really. In years, like the last two, when there are scheduled local elections on multiple days, should we include council by-elections on both? The article series covers all scheduled local elections in the year. If we wanted to include council by-elections in the article we should include all council by-elections, not just those on the same day. But we shouldn't—there are better places to include that material! Ralbegen (talk) 17:25, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What about by elections in councils that don’t have scheduled elections this year? Could we include those? Bentley4 (talk) 20:32, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
