	Gibraltar House of Assembly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Gibraltar House of Assembly is the legislature of the British territory of Gibraltar, which consists primarily of the Rock of Gibraltar, the northern side of the Strait of Gibraltar which is the passage between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
		The term "House of Assembly" has been commonly used for the legislatures of British territories that are less than fully sovereign.
		Due to the small area of Gibraltar and its territorial continuity, precincts serve only as polling places, not political units and there are no electoral districts served by the members, who are instead elected "at large" to serve the territory as a whole.
