Someone moved this to "United Kingdom general election, 1784". This is wrong for two reasons:

1). There was no "United Kingdom" at this time - the state was Great Britain. 2). For election pages the state name is abbreviated into this form.

I've moved it to "British", because links had existed to the page there for a long time before this article was created at "GB". I think it's a little odd to have United Kingdom general election, 2005 and not UK general election, 2005, as has been decided, but to then have GB general election, 1784 instead of where I've moved it. Hopefully this should cause no arguing. Morwen - Talk 12:24, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
