Co-ops, and Reform UK

edit

We should add the Co-ops to the list under labour and the TUV to reform as they share a whip AbledAtol (talk) 18:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Regarding Reform, I think we need a clear source about them sharing a whip and if so depict them as "Reform UK/TUV" with the breakdown of 5 Reform and 1 TUV then given in an indent immediately beneath in the list, similar to how pages for other legislatures reflect alliances of parties. Without definitive proof that they do share a whip and are behaving as a joint party, they should be shown separately. Maswimelleu (talk) 11:13, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

New Independents.

edit

Labour have suspended 7 MPs taking their number from 411 to 404 and Independents from 6 to 13. GandalfXLD (talk) 19:05, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Presence of SDLP MPs on the Government Bench

edit

Whilst the SDLP are not directly subject to the Labour whip, they have seated themselves on the government bench due to being Labour's sister party in Northern Ireland.[1] I appreciate twitter is not a sufficient source in its own right but should their presence on that bench be reflected in the illustration of Parliament and would it still be accurate to call them "opposition" when they are overtly supporting the government?

Independent Alliance

edit

Jeremy Corbyn has announced that he's forming a new group in Parliament called the Independent Alliance, consisting of himself and four other pro-Gaza independent MPs. But this will only be a parliamentary grouping and not a party as such, so should we list them as a separate group, or just continue to lump them in with the other independents?

I think list them separately on this article, as they're different from other independent MPs. However, on pages such as Next United Kingdom general election they should remain listed as independents, as for election purposes they are still independent DimensionalFusion (talk) 15:45, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
