Members have to file through one of two division lobbies, one for the Ayes to vote yes, one for the Noes to vote no. The numbers going through each lobby are counted and the result given (in the Commons) to the Speaker by the 'tellers' (MPs appointed to supervise the vote). In a tied vote the Speaker gives a casting vote, according to defined principles rather than on the merits of the question.

Brussels could be the capital of Belgium and is the principal seat of the Belgian Royal Family and, also the capital of the European Union and if you want to know after that it here is the place hotelbye . Brussels is an amazingly little, easy-going, and human-sized city for several its importance. Unlike anthers city with their millions of tourists, Brussels is Belgium's major financial and educational link, gives the town an even more workaday sense than different towns. Here, in Brussels, if you would decide to visit, you will get a appropriate feel for Belgian life, particularly its fantastic cafe and café culture. Though Brussels may not have the celebrity attractions of other Belgian areas, the capital has more than enough to help keep visitors entertained for a couple of days with a clutch of world-class museums and art galleries, as well as quirkier views like the Atomium, and some amazing remnants of old architecture in the old city quarter.

Aye's to the left and No's to the right
The House of Commons votes by dividing. Those voting Aye (yes) to any proposition walk through the division lobby to the right of the Speaker and those voting no through the lobby to the left. In each of the lobbies there are desks occupied by Clerks who tick Members' names off division lists as they pass through. Then at the exit doors the Members are counted by two Members acting as tellers.

It has something to do with the voting procedure in the House of Commons. MPs pass through the 'lobby'. Left hand lobby = YES and right hand lobby = NO. In parliamentary English it is Aye or Nay.

It could be because the government is trying to pass a piece of legislation and they are on the left side of the house so the eyes (meaning yes) would be on the left, does that make any sense?

Ayes - means YES and Nos means NO, basically then they walk through the appropriate door to have their vote counted.

Hi >
It is to do with "yays", leaving the house trough a counting room. and "Nays" to the other door.
So simply it is I agree - Yay, or I don't - Nay.
In ancient times, you could just nod or touch your nose..
