12. Scotland was excluded from this process because of the impact of the reduction of Scottish Parliamentary seats at the 2005 General Election.
13. There were five open selections caused by the sitting MP losing the trigger: Peterborough (where Helen Clarke was successful in winning the selection), Tooting (where Tom Cox lost), Reading East (where Jane Griffiths lost), Brent East, and Leicester South (which followed by-election defeats).
14. There were also early retirement seats in Scotland (Dundee West (Ernie Ross) and Clydebank and Milngavie (Tony Worthington)) and Wales (Bridgend (Win Griffiths) and Blaenau Gwent (Llewelln Smith)).

The media sample used by the National Media by the Communication research Centre at Loughborough University was BBC1 News, BBC2 News night, ITV News, C4 News, Sky 9 pm News, R1 Newsbeat, R4 Today, and all daily and weekly newspapers. Women's issues were classified as pay and equality issues, gender discrimination, women's movement campaigning, and women's representation in parliament.

26. MORI data will not provide the last word on the emerging gender gap. The BES data available by 8 June 2005 do not support the MORI findings. However this BES release is neither validated for actual votes nor weighted for sample categories. Replication of the MORI findings must await the release of BES cross sectional data.
