Members of Parliament (MPs)

Members of Parliament (MPs) are elected representatives who serve in a country's parliament, the legislative body responsible for making and passing laws. They represent the interests and concerns of their constituents—people living in specific geographic areas—by debating policies, proposing new laws, and holding the government accountable. MPs typically work for political parties, and their roles include scrutinizing government actions, debating legislation, and advocating for their constituents’ needs. Their work helps shape the laws and policies that affect the nation's governance and everyday life.
