Merger with Londonderry (parliamentary borough)

I think this would be a bad move - although the name is the same, one seat was focused on Derry City and the other on the County. Timrollpickering 21:40, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to remove the template that I entered once agreed - I only entered it because I was not quite sure and politics can be a turn off - especially on Friday! Djegan 21:51, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Unionist majority

It says Co Derry's nationalist vote was reaching 40% at some elctions.....at what stage did Co Derry first have a nationalist majoirty.

I read in some paper about a year ago that it now has a comfortbale nationalist majority. Does anyone know when this change first took place and what the "demographs" of Co Derry are at the mnute? (Derry Boi 16:12, 31 August 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Rayment

Ridiculous to say Rayment, which is THE authority on UK election results, is not a good source, because it was authored by the same person as the author of the Wikipedia article. Yet another ignorant editorial comment - so typical of Wikipedia self-proclaimed editors. Learn about academic rigour before posting rubbish. Stapito (talk) 16:57, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rayment is a useful site, but it's not "the authority on UK election results"; it has some errors and is (so far as I know) not subject to editorial oversight. Better to use reliable published sources which have been subject to editorial oversight, such as Craig, Walker and Rallings & Thrasher. Incidentally, Rayment didn't write this Wikipedia article, and its authorship makes no difference as to which sources are preferred. Warofdreams talk 17:51, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
