The House of Commons is the lower house of Parliament. Like the upper house, the House of Lords, it meets in the Palace of Westminster. The House of Commons is an elected body consisting of 50 members known as Members of Parliament (MPs). In elections, citizens vote for a party, seats are allocated using the Webster/Sainte-Laguë method, and parties appoint people to the seats they've won.
