The UK Parliament took official photographs of almost all of the new MPs this June. The photos have been uploaded to Wikimedia ( [Link] ) or found at the official website ( [Link] ).

Added photos of all MPs who were missing them except for 3 they didn't have. (2 in N.I.)

I'll add some, as well. Just wanted to share in case someone's favorite UK politician had an outdated picture.

Found a terrific source of UK maps, including local authority and ward maps: [Link] (under "Boundaries")
I've been slowly working my way through adding ward maps. Need to add local authority maps to show data from EU referendum and EU elections.
Adding these for future reference if anyone feels an urge to add maps. No obligation to contribute, no obstacle to contribute.

The upcoming Welsh, Scottish, and London races are done. Thanks to those who have been adding the other English races.
I keep tinkering with list races to figure out the best way to display them. Work in progress.

Thanks to everyone who worked on the UK elections over the past two weeks (RBH, Brent, Bojicat, M@, and more).
I've been adding a bunch of local maps in the past few weeks (counties, unitary authorities, districts, wards, etc.). However, local government in England is not exactly the neatest system. A county may be in more than one region, some districts may be in more than one county, some county councils cover the whole county while others don't, combined authorities exist, etc.). Therefore, I am adding most maps as standalone maps until I figure out an organizational system that works. If anyone has ideas, I'm all ears.

I don't have anything to add other than to say I agree it can get confusing as well. I do think it takes a little effort to navigate to races, but I do believe we have things organized well by Home Nation and Region.
My only suggestion, and most probably already know this, for people entering races if they are looking to avoid creating duplicate candidates is to be sure to go to the extent of trying to search for a candidate out of country for several reasons.
1. Not uncommon for candidates to run in different parts of the UK before being successful or just running outside of where they live even if they are successful.
2. Lots of candidates might labeled by UK or their home nation. I believe the races default to a UK perspective but the candidates could be placed in either UK or their home nation. So to be thorough, you need to check both.
3. This site search below the time machine works well enough so that when all else fails that seems to be the plan B for me when trying to find races or candidates that I know already exist.
Anyway my two cents.

James Newman should not have received zero points...the staging was not good, but Embers is a good song

Journalists to be staking out Parliament tomorrow taking attendance. Every Tory male MP will be jumping in front of the cameras.

just in time for Parliamentary elections sometime in 2024, the Parliamentary results now go back to 1964 (before the last few days there were constituencies that didn't have results before 1983)
quite a few constituencies go back before that depending on stuff like how often new members are elected or how many failed candidates have Wikipedia entries because they went on to win somewhere else and the such (like if somebody was first elected in 1959, then the last election before them is also here).
Some of the last places to have 1964/66/70 elections added on here were either eternally conservative parts of Southeast England, or a few constituencies in Edinburgh/Glasgow. There were a few races that didn't have the right date until I checked and two where they had a by-election in 1967 and I skipped the 1966 election until just now

The whole "add candidates from the last election" feature really speeds up adding a bunch of British races quickly. Also the whole thing where the number of candidates per seat drops as you go farther back in history.

Yeh imagine that there are number of candidates, even losing candidates that run election after election.
I bet you even found a few prominent MPs from all parties that made suicide runs in unsafe districts early in their political careers. That is the weird, fun side of this site for me. Using a candidate profile that already exists in an unexpected way.

Rumblings that the Prime Minister is about to call an election for July 4th. Cabinet meeting at 4PM local time and an announcement at 5.

Yikes. That'll be a lot of work for us in 1 month. Does Rishi understand the pressure he'll put on us with an early election call?

Yeah, a lot of chatter on this. I would discount one or two rumors, but this is basically everywhere.
