Talk:House of Commons of the United Kingdom

Diagram

The diagram showing the makeup of the House of Commons is now out of date as it doesn't include Reform Party (since Lee Anderson's defection on 11th March 2024). I have an updated SVG file but don't seem to have permission to replace the image Beachy (talk) 12:00, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

The diagram showing the number of MPs from each party is incorrect - Plaid Cymru is shown as having 8 members instead of 3, and the DUP have been left out completely. MFlet1 (talk) 15:19, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

This has now been fixed with the latest (18:15, 4 November 2021) revision of the File:House of Commons UK.svg diagram, sorry for not catching it earlier, not really sure how that error even got in there in the first place AsmodeanUnderscore (talk) 15:03, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

• House of Commons of the United Kingdom → House of Commons (United Kingdom)
• House of Commons of Canada → House of Commons (Canada)

– Looking through Category:National lower houses there is no clear consistency as whether to use [Legislative body] of [Country] or [Legislative body] (Country). However, to me it looks like most of those articles do use [Body] (Country) format. And I'm going to undertake an effort to have most moved to that format unless A) Their name is unambiguous; or B) There's a different argument supporting retention of the "of (Country)".

For this specific request, there is other evidence that would support this. Both of their respective speakers exist at Speaker of the House of Commons (United Kingdom) and Speaker of the House of Commons (Canada). Additionally, the parenthetical disambiguator allows these links to be more easily WP:PIPED. estar8806 (talk) ★ 12:04, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose per WP:NATURALDISAMBIGUATION. The other articles should be moved to get rid of the parenthetical disambiguator. Rreagan007 (talk) 16:41, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Oppose and I agree with @Rreagan007, including the part with parenthetical disambiguators. Unnatural, fake language. Killuminator (talk) 17:17, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Oppose as above. [Legislative body] of [Country] is an appropriate alternative for all of the articles in Category:National lower houses that share names with other countries, which should render parenthetical disambiguators unnecessary. OhDidgeridoo (talk) 20:06, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Reform UK Mistake

It writes that there is one Reform UK MP in Parliament but that is not the case at all, there are 0 Reform UK MPs in the House of Commons 78.180.138.178 (talk) 11:07, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Lee Anderson has now joined that party? Martinevans123 (talk) 11:15, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Seems like it lol literally confirmed right around/after I wrote this ahaha 78.180.138.178 (talk) 11:49, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
