In UK elections which took place today, people on electoral roll will decide on composition of 650 seats. Parties contesting elections need to get past halfway mark, i.e. at least 326, but any of parties would be satisfied with slightly fewer seats since Speaker and three deputies do t take part in voting to remain impartial. Members of Parliament of Sinn Féin, a left-wing Irish republican political party, do t take oath of allegiance, so technically y never become MPs eligible to vote in Parliament.
