Controversies[edit]

Why is there no mention of Scandals in the Controversies section, such as Cash for Ash? 2A02:C7E:2D5F:9500:2C76:8632:707A:3737 (talk) 16:29, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Social conservatism[edit]

I it needed in the infobox, as it already has national conservatism in it. I'd call for British nationalism to be removed, but as it's an article, instead of nationalism in general, I won't for its removal. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 16:39, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 DUP leadership election[edit]

There was a Wikipedia page for the 2024 DUP leadership election but it seems like it has been deleted. Does anyone here know why? Tagging Moondragon21 as I see you moved the page "2024 Democratic Unionist Party leadership election" to redirect to this page. Helper201 (talk) 18:15, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Helper201 - Wish I could help but I do not know why it was originally deleted. Moondragon21 (talk) 20:03, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moondragon21, no worries. Thanks for the reply. Helper201 (talk) 19:08, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
