	British House of Commons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The House of Commons is a democratically elected body, consisting of 646 members, who are known as "Members of Parliament" or "MPs." Members are elected by the first past the post system of election for limited terms, holding office until Parliament is dissolved (a maximum of five years).
		The rule that precludes certain Crown officers from serving in the House of Commons is used to circumvent a resolution adopted by the House of Commons in 1623, under which Members are not permitted to resign their seats.
		The supremacy of the Commons in legislative matters is assured by the Parliament Acts, under which certain types of bills may be presented for the Royal Assent without the consent of the House of Lords.

		In the Fifth French Republic members of the Senate, the second house in the national legislature, are elected by an electoral college composed of members of the National Assembly, the members of the general councils (departmental assemblies), and representatives of the municipal councils.
		Under a common version of proportional representation, known as the list system, voters cast their ballots for a party rather than for specific candidates, and seats are assigned to the parties according to their proportion of the total vote.
		A candidate of the party usually in the majority in his or her district may concentrate on trying to get a large turnout at the polls rather than attempt to woo independent voters or voters normally committed to another party.
