Member of Parliament
A Member of Parliament, or MP, is a representative elected by the voters to a parliament. In many countries the term applies specifically to members of the lower house, as upper houses often have a unique title, such as senate, and thus also have unique titles for its members, such as "senators". Members of parliament tend to form parliamentary parties with members of the same political party.
