A Member of Parliament is responsible to his constituency. He (used ambiguously) should be in regular congress with his constituents to learn their concerns. He should also be aware of major events and make a point of at the VERY least sending a representative in his stead. On top of his constituency duties he also has parliamentary duties. He may sit on a board, or have a minister position. He has to attend regularly and may be appointed to senate.
