A bit presumptuous ...

... of the LibDems [I assume] to suggest that there will be another election before 2020 and to get ahead of the crowd by naming their candidate. She is only a\ Prospective Parliamentary cndidate. I don't think it is appropriate to put up an election table at this point and list candidates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.18.108.90 (talk) 22:01, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree until an election is called in the Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk constituency there should be no additional election box on this article. Brythones (talk) 16:59, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I try to locate and delete Next election candidate tables as swiftly as possible. They break Wikipedia policy (see UNDUE, CRYSTAL and NOTBLOG for starters). There is also an argument that they break electoral law, too. Anyway, if a box appears here again, delete it, cite policy, and perhaps let the editor know using policy citations. doktorb _words^deeds 17:28, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Graph

I am not sure the graph that is included here is terribly useful as prior to 2005 it focuses on predecessor seats for the Berwickshire part of the constituency only, including Berwick and East Lothian, which bears little resemblance to the current Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk seat and was of a very different political character being a Conservative/Labour marginal for most of its existence (1950-1983). Indeed in the 1960s the Liberals held Roxburgh, Selkirk and Peebles, which is arguably the main predecessor of the current seat), but did not even contest Berwick and East Lothian. If someone was looking at the graph and assuming it always relates to the area covered by the current seat, then they would get a totally misleading impression of its political history.
