[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"During elections each of these votes for their Member of Parliament (MP), and whichever candidate from whichever party gets the most votes is the winner."</blockquote> So, does each district have a Lord and a Common? Or do some have one and some have others? I thought the Lords weren't even elected? <blockquote>"The Government is then formed by the party which has the largest number of MPs."</blockquote> Define "Government". I mean, the Parliament [i]is[/i] part of the government, isn't it? <blockquote>"They want the House of Commons to be apportioned according to the percentage of the electoral votes each party received nationwide."</blockquote> So, is this sort of an "at-large" representation? People wouldn't vote for a representative for their specific area, but they would just cast a vote for a party? If 50% of the country voted for Party X, then 315 Xs would be assigned seats? If 30% voted for Party Y, then 189 Ys would be assigned seats? [/QB][/QUOTE]
