Notes
[edit]- ^ Includes 43 MPs sponsored by the Co-operative Party, who are designated Labour and Co-operative.[3]
- ^ Some media sources, such as BBC News, listed Labour's total as 412, by including the Speaker (who, to demonstrate his neutrality, had resigned his Labour Party membership on taking office).
- ^ In the current (from 2024) Parliament, the seven members of Sinn Féin follow a policy of abstentionism. They do not swear into the house, and do not take part in its formal processes (doing so would also compel a by-election).[4] The speaker and deputy speakers (expected to be two Conservative and one Labour) by convention exercise only a casting vote.[5]
