This list has recently been overhauled, with a basic cleanup as well as better structuring. If approved, this list will form the blueprint as I overhaul the rest of the lists in the category.

I believe it easily passes criteria 1a, b, c, d and e. In addition it, having been made sortable today, passes 1f - the candidates can be grouped by party or electoral district. As for criteria 2, the lead section could perhaps be longer, but it does summarize the table and give some details. Finally, an image has been added. Punkmorten 23:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The 'sort' of the 'comments' column may not be needed; in any case, it does not work. It just throws the reader to the top of the article. Hmains 01:20, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I noticed that too. How does one remove it for one specific column? Punkmorten 09:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Maybe you cannot, but maybe the behavior of the comments column is a bug in WP that might be fixable by WP techies. The place to report this appears to be Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) Hmains 23:31, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - I have made the comments column unsortable for you. Woodym555 00:27, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - Yes, good. Hmains 18:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it necessary for the entries in the Party column to linked at all when the parties are listed in a heading paragraph and linked there? Is there a usual way of handling this? Hmains 18:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps the linking could be removed, yes. Punkmorten 08:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Done. The links were superfluous. Punkmorten (talk) 19:58, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Though - shouldn't the name column sort by last name? Otherwise it looks good and is sourced. Nicely done. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 04:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It sorts by last name now. Punkmorten (talk) 22:49, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~ (leaning oppose until issues addressed). The name column needs sorting. You need to add the {{sortname}} template so it supports by surname. Everything else looks good to me. Also it needs a bigger lead really. Per WP:LEAD and the FL criteria, it needs a lead that prepares the reader for the main list. I think it needs some more explanation of the Parliamentary system perhaps. A slight bit of history? A couple of sentences is not really enough in my view.

- Sortname added. That was boring :) Will expand lead section. Punkmorten (talk) 19:58, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I wrote something about the voting system, so that a US or UK (or other) reader can understand why there are several members from one constituency, and readers from a non-democratic country can understand how the system works. Sufficient, or did you have something else in mind? Punkmorten (talk) 21:46, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - yes, I know how boring that can get, I have done it often enough!! ;) That Lead is what I was thinking, could we have some citations for that new prose though. Then I should be able to support. Thanks. Woodym555 (talk) 21:50, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - I added a book reference, hope it is sufficient. Punkmorten (talk) 22:49, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - Support now. All my problems have been fixed. Well done. Woodym555 (talk) 23:06, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support Looks good. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:27, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
