The house of Parliament

The British Parliament consists of the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
* House of Commons is made up of men and women who were voted to represent their local area by people who live there.
* The House of Commons has more power than House of  Lords.
* UNITED KINKDOM consists of 659 constituencies which are : 529 constituencies in England , 72 constituencies in  Scotland and , 40 constituencies in Wales and 18 constituencies in Northern Ireland .
* They are not the same geographical size because of the population in England much bigger than others.
* The party which has most MPs will form the government after a general election .
* The person who wins most voteswill be the '' first past the post '' system .


* Nicola Blackwood




* She was born in 1979 in Johannesburg but her family returned to Oxford just two months later after her father had angered the Apartheid government by speaking up for the rights of the black community.

* The Conservative Christian Fellowship know Nicola well, she became a member in 2005 and took part in the CCF Leadership Course in 2006, and although there are many in public life who believe that this country should be entirely secular, Nicola is not one of them. Her political interests and voluntary activity in humanitarian policy, social justice and strengthening communities are both classically Conservative and classically Christian

  1. This is fine, but you should also try to complete the second part of the task.
