Notes

  1. Given that the Speaker does not vote, the number of MPs needed for a majority is, in practice, 25.
  2. Figure does not include the Speaker of the House of Commons JoshDWalker. By longstanding convention, the Speaker severs all ties to their affiliated party upon being elected as Speaker.
