1974 change figures

The February 1974 United Kingdom general election changes seem to be calculated exactly on the difference from the 1970 election result. However their were major boundary changes between the two contests. These favoured Labour and Arthur Palmer, the sitting MP for the abolished Bristol Central (much of which was transferred to the new Bristol North East), contested this seat. Equally the sitting Conservative MP for Bristol North East, Robert Adley, opted to contest another seat instead. It is almost certain that had the new boundaries been in use in 1970 Labour would have held the seat (and I think the 1974 election coverage on TV made this clear), so it is questionable to describe it as a Labour gain in February 1974. Labour win would be a better option and the percentage changes are meaningless as they are not comparing like for like. Dunarc (talk) 21:13, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
