Candidacies are grouped by a normalised name, which is the only key the source data offers. Two different people who share a name will appear as one row, and one person whose name was spelled differently across decades may appear as two. Check the constituency and party before treating a long career as a single person’s. The leaderboard above only counts people credited with at least two wins.
