The UK is divided into about 650 constituencies. In each constituency people vote for an MP from a number of candidates. Most candidates represent a political party but a few are 'independents'. On the day of the election people vote and the candidate that receives the most votes from a constituency is made that constituency's MP. All MPs have a right to go to the House of Commons in Westminster Palace. The Prime minister is the leader of the party with the most MPs in the House of Commons.
