National Liberal Party[edit]

As used in United Kingdom general election, 1922 "National Liberal" seems to link to an inappropriate article. Laurel Bush 13:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC).[reply]

That is correct. There have been two (major) National Liberal Parties. The first lasted about a year and were the remnants of the "Coalition Liberals" after the Lloyd George Coalition broke down about a month before this election. They rejoined the Liberals before the 1923 election to offer a unified Free Trade platform against Stanley Baldwin.

The second National Liberal Party broke away from the Liberals midway through the 1929 Parliament, to fight on a platform of protectionism, in concert with the Conservatives and National Labour Party in the National Government. It is this which is in the article. 129.67.53.94 20:55, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Parties now split, so National Liberal Party (UK, 1922) is now the relevant article. Zangar (talk) 00:26, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have a different issue with this. Oughtn't the gains and losses of the "National Liberals" not be measured against nothing, but against the number of "Coalition Liberals" in the 1918 parliament? Aren't the "national Liberals" basically the coalition liberals, now that the coalition is over? john k 16:02, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Figures don't make sense[edit]

According to the table, all the major parties make gains here... that isn't possible.

This is because the National Libs were measured against nothing, when they should have been measured against the Coalition Libs. The seat surplus has now been rectified. BillMasen 21:52, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The graphic is very unhelpful[edit]

This was a UK election and yet the Northern Irish Westminster seats are not depicted.Jatrius (talk) 19:57, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Prime Minister Before Election[edit]

The info Box indicates David Lloyd George was Prime Minister before the election. While Lloyd George was Prime Minister for nearly all of the period between the 1918 and 1922 elections he had officially resigned the office and Bonar Law was appointed Prime Minister by George V on 23rd October. Thus was technically Law was Prime Minister at the time the election was held. Dunarc (talk) 16:10, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Prime Ministers?[edit]

Most attention was focused on the new and most recent Prime Ministers.

What does this mean? It could only mean Lloyd George and Bonar Law. Valetude (talk) 22:59, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it means Law and Lloyd George. I'll edit it to make it clearer. DuncanHill (talk) 23:01, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
