<!-- This label is applied to those MPs who are members (and endorsed) by both the Labour
  and Co-operative party. The Co-operative party doesn't field it's own candidates and any
  member wishing to stand has to do so as a member of the Labour party. While the distinction
  is interesting, for the purpose of analytics/statistics it might be more useful to link
  or merge this party with the Labour party. -->
<party id="Lab/Co-op" wikipedia_url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Co-operative" />

<!-- Not a party as such, but the page accurately describes the notion of an independent politician,
  i.e. one who is not the member of any political party. -->
<party id="Ind" wikipedia_url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_politician" />

<!-- The following three party labels all essentially refer to the MP being an independent but with
  a strong affiliation to one political party. It is likely that they vote along the same lines as
  the listed party, but they don't hold the party whip and so are not forced into doing so.
  Here we've linked them to the page describing an independent MP but depending upon what you
  are looking to do with the data you may want to point to the affiliated party instead -->

<party id="Ind Lab" wikipedia_url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_politician" />
<party id="Ind UU" wikipedia_url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_politician" />

<!--  The following three party labels don't actually refer to political parties at all. Instead they
  refer to roles within the House of Commons that are generally viewed as non-partisan. The people
  holding the roles either do not vote (except to break a tie) or are elected careful to ensure that
  their votes cancel out and so would not affect the outcome. The speaker is technically an independent
  MP whereas the others can still hold a party affiliation -->
