The four main standings in the House of Commons typically refer to the political parties that hold significant representation: the governing party, the official opposition, and the smaller parties, which often include regional parties and independents. The governing party is led by the Prime Minister, while the official opposition holds the government accountable and proposes alternative policies. These parties play crucial roles in shaping legislation and debate within the Commons.
