The Northern Ireland Alliance/Green ratio was 8.49. Given Gibraltar's low population compared to council areas in the UK, and the fact it does not have equivalents of the Liberal Democrats or the Greens to carry out proper campaigning, its outlier ratio should be excluded from the top 10 list the same way the City of London and the Isles of Scilly would be had their ratios been in the top 10 or bottom 10. |

There are a few near misses (including the various Don Valley ridings, Durham, and York Centre), but Cambridge and Halifax are, as far as I can tell, the only two Canadian federal ridings which share a name with a UK parliamentary constituency. As far as I can tell, there are no Australian federal or New Zealand electorates which share a name with a UK parliamentary constituency.

No current MP in Wales was elected in the 20th century.

No current MP in Wales was elected in the 20th century. And only 71 MPs for English constituencies were first elected in the 20th century in fact (along with Jeffrey Donaldson, MP for Lagan Valley, first elected in 1997). As has been said before, the expenses scandal terminated the careers of many MPs, and the Brexit chaos period covering the 2017-19 Parliament caused quite a few earlier than anticipated retirements, such that more than half of all MPs currently in the House of Commons were first elected in 2015, the year I first stood as a parliamentary candidate. |

What source gives you 71? The Wiki 'MPs by seniority' list has 68 elected in the 20th century (including David Lammy and Mark Hendrick in 2000), and subtracting Donaldson and the late Cheryl Gillan gives 66. Mind you, that's still 12.4% when Wales has 0% with a sample size of 40 and with many seats that haven't changed parties in a long time, which is a pretty remarkable difference. |

There are also some MPs with non-continuous service who were first elected in the 20th century (Greg Knight, David Evennett, John Cryer, Ed Davey, Tony Lloyd). |

And do you count David Davis as continuous service?

Unless the constituencies have changed a lot in nature, who would have thought Croydon S would be Labour in 1945, yet Croydon N would be Tory!

Unless the constituencies have changed a lot in nature, who would have thought Croydon S would be Labour in 1945, yet Croydon N would be Tory! Keep in mind that that version of Croydon South now corresponds to the modern Croydon Central. As for Croydon North, the Croydon NW and Croydon NE seats which succeeded the 1918-55 version of Croydon North started off reasonably safely Conservative as well. Croydon NW famously elected Liberal Bill Pitt in a 1981 by-election, but the Conservatives reversed that; Labour did not win Croydon NW until 1992. Croydon NE remained safely Conservative until its abolition. Demographic change is the commanding reason why Croydon North, notionally Conservative upon its recreation in 1997, is a very safe Labour seat today (see also Leeds NW and Leeds NE). The current Croydon South was mainly formed from a large part of the still extant East Surrey (which now only covers the Tandridge district and the town of Horley) back in 1974. |

It took me a while to realise that this site has these kind of tables and maps for every area of London (and a few other areas). An amazing piece of work. It would be good to see this rolled out to some of the other large cities esepcially Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchster |
