confirmed candidates

This is a misleading and perhaps illegal expression. They may be prospective candidates, but candidates they emphatically aren't and it's dangerous to say so. There are no candidates until the seat is vacant through prorogation or writ and nominations have closed and been confirmed by the presiding officer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 21:53, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

boundary review

It'd be good to know when the review was conducted and when the changes were implemented. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.140.57.113 (talk) 09:55, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Bacon

Our article on Richard Bacon and his parliament.uk profile say he contested Vauxhall in 1997; however this article has Gareth Compton as the Tory candidate. Which is correct? – hysteria18 (talk) 17:48, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removed part about 2016 referendum in the lead

The part about the 2016 referendum in the lead section did not have good sources. It used an Evening Standard article (https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/london-life/eu-referendum-result-lambeth-emerges-as-london-borough-with-highest-percentage-of-remain-voters-a3280351.html) about the borough of Lambeth, which is not the same thing as Vauxhall constituency. The other source was a Google Docs link which is not reliable. In a quick search, I could not find any good sources which provide an estimate of Vauxhall's votes in the 2016 referendum, so I removed this part. 86.27.249.220 (talk) 16:49, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Run of Labour MPs - since 1929 rather than 1918?

Under the 'Political history' section, there's this line: "The area has consistently voted in parliamentary elections for Labour Members of Parliament since 1918, except in 1931"

Isn't that incorrect? On the Lambeth North page the first Labour MP is listed as getting elected in the 1929 election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambeth_North_(UK_Parliament_constituency)

I agree. This is incorrect. Although Frank Briant was on the Progressive left of the Liberal Party, he never joined the Labour Party. Indeed he was the man who defeated George Strauss in the 1931 General Election! This section should be amended. --Lang rabbie (talk) 21:25, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
