305:- There are several serious issues with the list. The first is that it claims to take into account only results from after 1945 (which is a fairly arbitrary point), and secondly that it actually doesn't follow that claim. The choice of which records should be hosted on the page is entirely arbitrary - I can think of plenty of possible records which do not appear on the page ("Highest percentage of vote"). The choice of records and the choice of which results can be counted towards the records seems fairly arbitrary to me. The article is in need of being split due to its excessive length, but there's no logical way of doing it. I believe these problems are insurmountable, but if anyone wants to show me to be wrong, please do.
264:. Clearly people are keeping up with maintaining this list. It's open for debate as to how useful this list is, but I certainly recall a lot of the events listed here in 2005 and 2010 were highly significant political developments. Putting the information on the corresponding constituency pages isn't nearly as useful because that requires knowing which constituency holds the record before you can find the information. I don't often use this argument, but these two pages are ones where I would say: if you don't like this page, don't use it.

Yes, but this is not the forum for doing do. The correct forum is the talk page. It's sometimes acceptable to go straight to AfD when there's no realistic prospect of ever fixing the article, but when issues have previously been raised and answered on the page, there's no excuse not to go down that

The nomination claims that this is hard to maintain but there seems to be no evidence provided to support this and the nominator does not seem to have been active at the article or its talk page. The main difficulty I see is that there are too many statistics and records being tracked together and

Well, I believe that there is no "realistic prospect of ever fixing the article". Nothing I've read on the talk page adequately defends the arbitrary nature of the article. We disagree here.
