What is meant by London Borough of Southwark?[edit]
I think there should be text to clarify this. At the moment the category contains by-elections held in what is now the London Borough of Southwark from 1870 onwards. However the current Southwark dates from 1965 and includes the former Metropolitan Borough of Camberwell and the former Metropolitan Borough of Bermondsey as well as the pre-1965 Metropolitan Borough of Southwark. I would suggest that either the category should only include elections which were held in the boundaries of Southwark at the time (so for instance exclude the 1906 Dulwich by-election as that seat was in Camberwell) or text should be added to make clear that the category is for any election held in the area now covered by the Borough of Southwark. As the latter seems to be the de facto case, then it is possibly the best option. Dunarc (talk) 22:40, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
