- 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.[11] Sinn Féin won 7 seats, meaning a practical majority requires 322 MPs.
- Nicola Sturgeon sits as an MSP in the Scottish Parliament for Glasgow Southside. Ian Blackford, MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber, is the SNP leader at Westminster.
- Includes Neale Hanvey, who was suspended from the party at the time of his election and thus took his seat as an independent.
