UK House of Commons

The UK House of Commons is the lower chamber of Parliament, where Members of Parliament (MPs) represent different areas of the country. It’s a key decision-making body responsible for making laws, scrutinizing the government, and debating national issues. MPs are elected by the public during general elections. The House of Commons works alongside the House of Lords, with the government usually formed by the political party that has the most MPs. It plays a central role in shaping UK policy, spending public funds, and holding the government accountable through discussions, questions, and committees.
