Government working majority[6]84<ref>Treats the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats as a single group; assumes that the Alliance Party abstains; 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 MP has been suspended from the parliamentary party due to an expenses scandal but remains a Labour member.
- ↑ 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; not counted as an opposition party in this table.
- ↑ Independent politicians stand for election on a variety of issues and so do not necessarily co-operate in the House of Commons.
- ↑ Do not normally vote.

- 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]
