UKIP

Regarding the 2015 election, the UKIP was only added to the infobox on 4 May 2024. So it is not the case that it has been there for years. 2601:249:9301:D570:857E:D8EA:29D4:FED9 (talk) 20:37, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

I looked at earlier edits and I found that there was a lot of back and fourth over whether the party should be included, which ultimately ended with it not being included. After the dust settled on that dispute, someone added it on 19 April 2017‎, but minutes later, it was reverted with the edit reason "This has been endlessly discussed. You'll need a consensus for change on talk". It was later added back again 13 August 2019‎, but it was reverted minutes later with the edit reason "Revert:infobox is by seats won". From a quick glance, (I could be wrong), it doesn't seem to have been present on the infobox again until last month and it appears that its inclusion in the infobox has been rather intermittent. I think the crux of this argument is seat count vs percentage of vote (if we go by the latter, the UKIP would be in third place, if the former, then it's behind most of the Northern Ireland parties) which is what the discussion is trying to determine. I'm not trying to push an agenda, I'm just trying to keep the page consistent with what was previously decided upon. If the mood since the last consensus and shifted and it is now the consensus to use a format that includes the UKIP, then so be it.98.228.137.44 (talk) 00:47, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
