| Government working majority[7] | 83<ref>Treats the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats as a single group; includes any suspended MPs; does not include the Speaker and Speaker's Deputies (who do not usually vote) or Sinn Fein (which does not take the seats). |
- ↑ One Conservative MP acts as a Deputy Speaker, so does not vote.
- ↑ Sinn Féin contests UK general elections but does not take the seats; therefore, its MPs do not vote or speak in the House of Commons.
- ↑ Works closely with the Liberal Democrats, but is a separate organisation.
- ↑ Independent politicians stand for election on a variety of issues and so do not necessarily co-operate in the House of Commons.
- ↑ Lady Sylvia Hermon, Denis MacShane and Eric Joyce.
- ↑ Do not normally vote; the Speaker is not a member of any party, while the Deputies can maintain membership but are not involved in party political activities.

- Working majority [r]: In a parliamentary democracy, the number of politicians in the governing party minus those of all other parties combined, excluding those that do not normally vote. [e]
