THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT

The word parliament comes from the French verb parler, to talk. Ther British have used this name since the 13th century. It represents the idea that the monarch should talk with and listen to ordinary people.The British Parliament has developed wver hundreds of years. It started with a group of the nonarch and two houses of Parliament-the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The House of Commons has got 646 members, known as Members of Parliament(MPs). Local residets vote for an MP to represent them. The House of Lords consists of noblemen. Until recently, membership to the House of Lors passed from father to son- when a nobleman died, his place in the House.
