Found a website of UK constituency data that claims to let you "ask about MPs in natural language and get a correct answer". I asked what is the smallest constituency. That is slightly unfair because it could mean physical size, electorate, or population. But the site claimed to have the electorate as part of the base dataset. Despite having the electorate values, the site's LLM told me the answer was Lowestoft. It isn't. I asked the same question again and it said Sevenoaks (73,708). Still no.

A clue is that the Electoral Commission try to make constituencies have roughly the same population. But there are certain places where geography makes it hard or impractical to change a boundary so they are allowed to have smaller electorates.
Anyway, not being able to find the smallest entry in 650 numbers is another example of why LLMs are a bad choice to find reliable answers.
I'm betting a bunch of actual humans on here could tell me which constituency has the smallest electorate.
