Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Given that Sinn Féin MPs do not take their seats and the speaker and deputies do not vote, the number of MPs needed for a majority is, in practice, slightly lower.[1]
  2. ^ John Swinney sits as an MSP in the Scottish Parliament.
  3. ^ The SNP only contests the Scottish Westminster constituencies so it is mathematically impossible for it to win a majority.
  4. ^ Alba only contests the Scottish Westminster constituencies so it is mathematically impossible for it to win a majority.
  5. ^ Ed Davey was the Liberal Democrats' acting leader from 13 December 2019, following the electoral defeat and resignation of Jo Swinson, to 27 August 2020, when he was elected permanent leader.
  6. ^ Rhun ap Iorwerth as an MS in the Senedd.
  7. ^ Plaid Cymru only contests the Welsh Westminster constituencies so it is mathematically impossible for it to win a majority.
