  1. member of parliament

    A Member of Parliament (MP) is an individual authorized or elected to represent a particular group of people in a country's legislative body. MPs usually represent a geographical area or a specific political party and engage in activities such as law-making, policy formulation, executive oversight, and addressing issues of their constituents. They play a crucial role in the functioning of a democratic government. The specific powers and roles of MPs can vary, depending on the political system and constitution of the particular country.

  1. Member of Parliament

    A Member of Parliament is the representative of the voters to a parliament. In many countries with bicameral parliaments, this category includes specifically members of the lower house, as upper houses often have a different title, such as senate, and thus also have different titles for its members, such as senator. Members of parliament tend to form parliamentary groups with members of the same political party. In everyday use, the term Member of Parliament is almost always shortened to the initialism "MP", and this is also common in the media.
