Your Parliament: Make it work for you
Your Parliament explains the basics of the British political system: the work of Parliament, the role of MPs and peers, and how laws are made. It also describes how to get involved: through voting, contacting your MP or visiting the Houses of Parliament.
The Your Parliament pamphlet provides clear, straightforward explanations on questions such as:
- What is Parliament? How is the UK run?
- Who are MPs and peers? What do they do?
- What are political parties?
- How do I vote?
- How are new laws made?
- What goes on in Parliament?
- Why should I get involved?
- How can I get involved or find out more?
Your Parliament is part of the Hansard Society's ongoing work to inform and educate the public on the workings of Parliament and the political system. It is revised and updated from the 2004 version, and is published jointly with the Houses of Parliament.
