Only House of Commons seats are counted; the upper chamber has a separate institutional history. Seat totals include unopposed returns and abstentionist MPs. Historic constituencies, franchise and territory differ from today. Historical results and party labels follow the reviewed national table and bibliography. Votes in multi-member districts are candidate selections, not necessarily unique voters. Votes are not imputed for unopposed seats; published percentages remain on the source basis.
