How does the political system work in your country ?   We have hundreds of constituencies and the votes in each one elect a member of parliament . Most people call them mp ’ s .   Each mp belongs to a political party , right ?   Almost all of them do . A few are independent . That means that they do not belong to a party . If one party more than half of the mp ’ s . they form a government . That means that they choose a prime minister can cabinet members .   What ’ s a cabinet ?   This is a small group of people-perhaps 25 mp ’ s who are usually ministers . They make all the big decision and discuss laws and policy .
