Parliaments and the Vote
Parliaments are legislative bodies responsible for making laws, debating policies, and representing citizens' interests. Members of parliament (MPs) are elected by the public through voting. The voting process allows citizens to choose representatives who will make decisions on their behalf. In elections, voters select candidates or parties they support, and the group with the most votes typically forms the government. Parliaments work through discussions, committees, and votes to pass laws, hold leaders accountable, and shape the country's direction. Voting ensures democratic participation, giving people a voice in how their nation is governed.
