Party standings in the British House of Commons

=Graphical Representation of the House of Commons=

This is a comparison of the party strengths in the British House of Commons. Although the British House of Commons has no seating plan, this image suggests what the House would look like if all of its members entered the chamber and sat as party groups.

It should be noted that there is not room on the benches for all members and, if all members were present, many would have to stand between the rows.

Note: The Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru sit together as a party group; Sinn Féin has not taken its seats.

Note: This is not the official seating plan of the House of Commons, as there is no official plan of the house.

Current composition

Note: The effective Government majority is higher than the notional majority as Sinn Féin's MPs do not take their seats. Conservative total includes one MP who has had the whip removed. The three SDLP MPs take the Government whip.
