Interesting but need to be consistent -- some answers require "party" others do not.

Thanks for pointing that out – I've now updated the type-ins so that "party" isn't required for any of them.

What the heck is going on in NI? I knew four of them and that was still only half.

Nominated!

Very nice, nominated. Those Scottish defections in Westminster caught me off guard!

A local government version would be good too, although much more work clearly...

Would love that quiz but would you include all the residents parties? The likes of Ashfield Independents and Aspire currently have large groups and have been around for a while, so maybe you'd say include them? But then some localist parties only have 1 or 2 seats on 1 council and may be very short-lived. Don't how anybody could possibly know them all without simply learning them for the purpose of the quiz. But maybe that doesn't matter!

I'm from NI and I missed more NI parties than ones for any of the other parliaments...

"Tory" and "Tories" should be acceptable type-ins for the Conservatives.

I honestly don't know how I missed that when I did type-ins, I've added them now

You forgot the Count Binface party, everyone knows he was the real winner of the last election.
