Recent edits[edit]

There’s been some useful additions here, but I’ve removed a speculative paragraph from the "Constiuency history" section, as WP is not a crystal ball. Moonraker12 (talk) 15:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PS I've also replaced the "Members of Parliament" section, which had disappeared: It's usual to have one, so I presume it was inadvertent. Moonraker12 (talk) 15:06, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the Green party and Brexit party candidates from the 2019 table as both aren't standing now. Lotrjw (talk) 22:28, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

Why is this constituency called "South Swindon" as though it was a county, rather than "Swindon South" as it is a borough? Fig (talk) 22:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Boundaries[edit]

The ward boundaries changed in 2012 so this section is out of date. I don't know the area so don't want to attempt an update myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.57.253.190 (talk) 16:54, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name change[edit]

Now the General Election has been called the new revised boundaries are in effect (alright, technically from 30th May). Should we rename this article to "Swindon South" to reflect the new name? Same goes for the North Swindon / Swindon North article too, of course. Patch86UK (talk) 13:49, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
