Does this constituency name actually contain two commas, as in the title of this thread?? Posters have been somewhat inconsistent. If it does, it should not do.

I note that another thread that was commented upon recently is “Inverness, Skye and Wester Ross-shire”, so with only a single comma. I would hate if the Boundary Commissions have been inconsistent on this issue.

The links on the BCS website doesn't use the Oxford comma:

Girvan and South Carrick by-election result:

CON 1315 (47.5%) +19.5
SNP 778 (28.1%) +3.2
LAB 499 (18.0%) +9.2
LIB 108 (3.9%) new

ALBA 70 (2.5%) +1.4

Turnout: 32.4% (-14.3)

An undeniably good result for the Conservatives. It should be noted this is a rural ward which leans more towards the Conservatives than the rest of the constituency.

Unfortunately this wasn't counted electronically so the polling district data won't be available which is a pity

Sufficed to say a strong Tory vote in the South Carrick villages and Girvan Ailsa (northern part of town). Middling Tory vote in Girvan Town Centre and Stair Park (central and western parts of town). Weaker Conservative vote in the Girvan Glendoune area (south eastern part of town), though still in the lead.
