Hospital Waiting Times.
Waiting lists and access to treatment
Each row is one party. The bar shows how its MPs voted relative to a neutral midpoint — to the right = on-side with the majority position, to the left = opposed. The percentage figure is the share of that party’s MPs who took the same side: higher = more whip-disciplined, closer to 50% = a freer vote.
| Party | Stance vs neutral midpoint | Net % | Discipline | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Labour Party | Lab | -50 | 0% on-whip · 280 MPs | |
| Liberal Democrats | LD | +50 | 100% on-whip · 67 MPs | |
| Labour and Co-operative Party | Ind | -50 | 0% on-whip · 29 MPs |
