Rather than reducing the Conservatives total now when there are still two Labour members to go, the least confusing thing to do is to leave him as a Conservative (which is what he actually is) but amend the footnote to mention that three deputy speakers have yet to be chosen. When they are chosen then we can represent it properly. [[User:Ninetyone|ninety]]:[[User talk:Ninetyone|one]] 14:57, 15 May 2010 (UTC) |

The semi-circular diagram is misleading, for two reasons: |

# The Commons chamber is not arranged in this way. It is one of the few legislatures that doesn't have such an arrangement. |
|||
# The Liberal Democrats are part of the government, the "others" are not. Therefore, having them overlap is misleading. |

I understand that there is no set seating arrangement but I think we should create a clean, table-based diagram like the one for Party standings in the Canadian House of Commons. Either that or recreate the image here in PNG format. --Zippanova 18:57, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- I updated the image to a clean PNG until I have time to recreate the diagram into a table. If anyone wants to work on that, I found another example, this one relating directly to the UK Commons: MPs elected in the UK general election, 2001 (oldid=9883284)
Sien Fien (Ok, i spelled it Wrong)
Should they be included on the chart, seeing as how they dont take seats?
Not sure about that, but as for the spelling it's: Sinn Fein IRA
Conservative MPs total
198 were elected in 2005.
Yet according to this article there are 195 in the Commons. I know that 1 crossed the floor. But where are the other 2? Biofoundationsoflanguage 10:33, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
- Never mind! They are two Deputy Speakers! I think this is worth mentioning on the article somewhere. Biofoundationsoflanguage 17:24, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Deputy speakers
I have moved Alan Haselhurst back to the Conservative total, because:
- deputy speakers stand for election as party members,
- all deputy speakers must be appointed when Parliament sits again
- two of Labour's 258 will be appointed, but as we do not yet know who.
Rather than reducing the Conservatives total now when there are still two Labour members to go, the least confusing thing to do is to leave him as a Conservative (which is what he actually is) but amend the footnote to mention that three deputy speakers have yet to be chosen. When they are chosen then we can represent it properly. ninety:one 14:57, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Semi-circle
The semi-circular diagram is misleading, for two reasons:
- The Commons chamber is not arranged in this way. It is one of the few legislatures that doesn't have such an arrangement.
- The Liberal Democrats are part of the government, the "others" are not. Therefore, having them overlap is misleading.
