Party standings in the British 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.
