This CFD relates to the subcategories by nation and replaces an earlier CFD at WP:CFD#Category:Members_of_the_United_Kingdom_Parliament_from_Irish_constituencies_.281801-1922.29
It is one of two proposals which were originally made by me on 4 November 2006 at Category_talk:British_MPs#Renaming_subcategories_after_restructuring. I had hoped to leave that discussion to run for longer, in order to involve more people in exploring the issues, before hopefully reaching some sort of consensus on a proposal or set of proposals to bring to CFD.
However, the CFD above by Smerus brought the issue to a head more quickly, with a different proposal. Rather than have to separate CFDs relating to the same categories, it seemed better to start a new CFD, and Smerus has kindly agreed to withdraw the existing nomination to allow a new one to proceed.
The background to both these nominations is that all MPs elected to Westminster were originally categorised under the single Category:British MPs. This was both unwieldy and innacurate, because there have been three parliaments at Westminster:
- The Parliament of England (unti the Act of Union between England in Scotland in 1707)
- The Parliament of Great Britain (1707 until the the Act of Union 1800 betwen Ireland and Great Britain)
- The Parliament of the United Kingdom (since 1801)
Despite continuities of procedure and membership etc, these are legally separate institutions. So Westminster MPs are now categorised according to which parliament they are (or were) members of:
- Category:Members of the pre-1707 English Parliament
- Category:Members of the Parliament of Great Britain
- Category:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament
This CFD relates solely to Category:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament, i.e. MPs since 1801.
