The two houses of the British Parliament are the House of Lords (Upper
House) and the House of Commons (Lower House). They work on behalf of the
citizens of UK to make and shape effective laws for the betterment and welfare
of the people of UK. Members of Parliament (MPs in short) are elected by the
people of UK in-order to present the interests, needs, concerns and problems of
the people in the House of Commons.
Through the general elections in UK the people in every part of UK get
to choose the MP of their choice whom they feel would work for the common good
of the people. The people get a choice of several candidates in each
constituency and the candidate who receives the highest number of votes becomes
the MP from that constituency. The term constituency means an area whose voters
elect a representative to represent their interests and concerns to the
law-making body.
The members of the House of Lords i.e., the Upper House are appointed by
the constitutional monarch of UK on the advice of the Prime Minister. The
political party which wins the most seats in general election forms the
Government to serve the people with integrity, accountability and transparency.
