Where the same colour has been allocated to more than one party this indicates that the groups are related to one another and are believed to have either contested elections in different periods or different geographical areas.
The use of Tory and Whig up to 1832 and Conservative and Liberal from 1832, is a convention. It disguises a much more complex picture. Some politicians used the new terms in the 1830s but many did not for another generation.
An attempt has been made to use different shades of green for different factions of Irish Nationalism, which competed against each other at elections.
The list uses an adaptation of the election results template. The ''party'' column is the meta/shortname, ''candidate'' is the long name which produces the meta/shortname. ''votes'' is the year (approximately in some cases) when the party first contested elections, ''percentage'' is the word or code that produces the meta/color used for the party and change is an abbrieviation for the party.
