British Parliament

The British Parliament is the supreme legislative body of the United Kingdom, consisting of two houses: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Commons is made up of Members of Parliament (MPs) elected by the public, while the House of Lords includes appointed members and bishops. Parliament is responsible for making and passing laws, debating national issues, and examining the government’s work. It meets in the Palace of Westminster in London and plays a key role in the UK's democracy, ensuring that the government is accountable to the people.
