I forgot to add this is a great start of video and well laid out and interesting to watch. I don't understand why we are not taught this in school.
Ive always wanted to know the deeper workings of government how the system works, while inefficient, it is the most democratic system we have , It was very well presented

What is a mp
The UK public elects Members of Parliament (MPs) to represent their interests and concerns in the House of Commons. MPs consider and can propose new laws as well as raising issues that matter to you in the House. This includes asking government ministers questions about current issues including those which affect local people.

Are the "House of Lords" members elected or selected?
Musa Abid most are selected, some are born as lords and some are given a seat when they become bishops
Some are selected, some have hereditary positions, I don’t think any are directly elected.
Hi there, you can learn more about the House of Lords here: www.parliament.uk/about/faqs/house-of-lords-faqs/role/
I appreciate the diversity in the figurines.
hello :D
I think a lot more people be interested in politics and understanding how it works now the brexit become a talking point for all ages.
If it's possible I would definitely suggest a change in the title to this video as it doesn't entice you to watch.
Something like a quick start guide to how politics works..... Unless you want another brexit fiasco to happen again
