Composition

These representative diagrams show the composition of the parties as it was directly after the 1992 general election and before the 1997 general election: Note: The Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru sit together as a party group. This is not the official seating plan of the House of Commons, which has five rows of benches on each side, with the government party to the right of the speaker and opposition parties to the left, but with room for only around two-thirds of MPs to sit at any one time. {| class="wikitable" id="elected-mps"
