How are the Members of Parliament in the House of Commons elected?
The House of Commons consists 659 Members of Parliaments(MPs) since 1997,each elected by citizens of an electoral constituency to represent that constituency in the house.
Generally,the General Election(大选 ) is held every five years.But in fact,it is held within five years.

Electoral System
Many countries use a system of proportional representation to determine the number of seats given to different parties in their national assemblies.
Elections to the UK Parliament in Britain are based on a system of electing one member for each constituency.

Only one representative is elected from among the candidates for each constituency: the candidate who receives the greatest number of votes.A candidate who comes second, even by difference of one vote(after recounting and checking) is not elected. The successful candidate does,however, promise to represent in Parliament the interests of all the constituents, and becomes one of the Members of Parliament,even if they vote for other parties.

The Basic Mode of Elections: List the candidates that represent every
constituency on the votes. Each voter can choose only one candidate that he/she supports.
The party winning a majority in the House
forms a Government, with its leader becoming Prime Minister.
