The British Electoral System

The British Electoral System

During the elections, the United Kingdom is divided into constituencies, each of which elects one Member of Parliament for the meeting at the House of Public Representatives. To monitor the elections in the House of Parliament, organized four temporary commission (for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), who make reports on availability in homes and accountable for the conduct of elections. Today in the Boma community representatives of 659 seats, one seat for every 65,000 voters. All British citizens (as well as Irish citizens) have the right to vote if they are 18 or older, if they are registered, if they are not members of the House of Lords, and are not condemned criminals. Voting is not mandatory, on average, are going to vote for about 75% of the electorate, the figure is 8% lower than in the same 1945. Candidate in the electoral district that receives the most votes becomes the member of the House Public Representatives. The rest of the candidates who were not even very close to winning do not get seats. If a member of parliament from office refuses to die or become a peer during his service in Parliament, will be made re-election in the constituency, where he was the representative. Candidates do not need to belong to a party to qualify for the post of member of the government, but such cases are very few elective practice. In fact, candidates for parliament - are members of the various parties that support their elected enough votes. This of course can be said to be undemocratic, but the citizens are also supporters of a particular party. In Britain, very few people who are not involved in politics and have no interest in it. Thus. in Britain there was a system of parliamentary elections.
