HOUSE OF COMMONS La Cámara de los Comunes o cámara baja británica está compuesta por 650 diputados (“MPs”) elegidos por un período de cinco años y que ocupan un escaño unos 175 días al año.
HOUSE OF LORDS Tradicionalmente, la Cámara de los Lores o cámara alta británica estaba compuesta por nobles hereditarios, obispos y magistrados, y desde 1958 el primer ministro tiene la potestad de nombrar a miembros vitalicios. Aparte de su cometido senatorial, también ejerce las funciones de tribunal supremo en todo el país, excepto en Escocia. En 1998 se abolió el derecho de los nobles hereditarios a formar parte de esta cámara, aunque todavía tienen la capacidad de elegir por votación a 90 nuevos miembros entre sus pares. En la actualidad el gobierno británico está estudiando la introducción de nuevas reformas. Entre ellas, que los componentes de esta cámara sean escogidos por sufragio.
