We have a problem with the totals not matching the party identifications in the detail list. I've been using Chapman's thesis to identify these, and I'll go through it again to see if I've screwed up; in the meantime it would help if people could figure out which two Reform Party MPs should be marked as Liberals (Labour is correct, at least) IdiotSavant 22:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Leonard Isitt is usually counted as "Government" (Reform) even though he was elected as a Liberal. In 1919 Isitt as an Independent was opposed only by Labour, in 1922 when he stood as a Liberal an "Unoffical Reform" candidate (E. H. Andrews) also stood in Christchurch North so in order to prevent Labour candidate Rev. John Archer winning on a split vote the Reform Party "adopted" Isitt as the official Government candidate.
