[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] We don't register with parties though, so that whole part of the equation doesn't exist. And we don't directly vote for a party, as such. We vote for our local Member of Parliamnent, who is suppossed to reflect the views of his constituency in the House Of Commons. The party with the most seats in the House of Commons picks the PM, Foreign Secretary, and so on, but votes still have to be agreed by people from all parties, and quite often Labour MPs won't vote in ways that Blair would like them to (and the same with the Tories). So, technically you are voting for a person - your MP. But the general effect of that is that you are voting for which party runs the House Of Commons. Oh, and there are Council elections where you vote for the people who will actually run your local council. You can have a Tory council and a Labour MP, although it's not overly common. [/QB][/QUOTE]
