The Party System in Parliament
4.
- Nearly all MPs represent political parties. - The party with the most MPs after a general election normally forms the Government.
- The next largest party becomes the official Opposition. - If an MP does not have a political party, they are known as an 'Independent'. - Members of the House of Lords are organized on a party basis in much the same way as the House of Commons but with important differences: Members of the Lords do not represent constituencies and many are not members of a political party. - Lords who do not support one of the three main parties are known as Crossbenchers or Independent Peers. - There is also a small number who are not affiliated to any of the main groups.
