★The Houses of Parliament★

The British Parliament is the British political center. It is built lie on the River Thames in London central. It is one of the most important Engish Gothic architectures of mid-19th century also. And it consists of the House of Lords and the House of Commons.


The House of Lords has about 700 non-election of members, including England Archbishop or Lords Spiritual of 26 Churches, and more than 600 Lords Temporals. It different from the House of Commons is that it did not checks and balances on Prime Minister and its Government. Only the House of Commons could force the prime minister has resigned, or through a no-confidence vote in order to hold elections. The House of Lords on the Government's oversight is quite limited. Most Cabinet ministers are from the House of Commons, it is rather than the House of Lords. However, the House of Lords is still the source of new cabinet members.
The House of Commons is an organization generate from democratic election and it is the most influential one. It consists of 646members, known as Members Of Parliament. The members of the House of Commons were elected by 'first past the post' voting system. Each member is elected by voters from different constituency, and the member who was elected also on behalf of the constituency in Parliament. They can not assume longer than five years per period. Based on majority voting system is applied to elections of the House of Commons, the ruling party would most likely get a substantial majority, so that the ruling party will more reluctant to cooperate with other political parties.
