The political institution is 'The Houses of Parliament'.
'Big Ben' is the main bell in the Elizabeth Clock Tower of the Palace of Westmoinster (The building). The Palce of Westminster contains the two houses of parliament, viz. The House of Lords, and the House of Commons.
At the other end of the Palace of Westminster is the Victoria Tower, from which the flag flies.
Parliament is the legislature of the United Kingdom . This legislature is so arranged that it allows political parties to send memebers by election to the House of Commons. The House of Lords is were the lords of the land are allowed to sit and vote , and amend ,on bills before they become Acts of Parliament. Their lordships can be of any political party, or of no political party (cross benchers).
The word 'Parliament' comes from the French Medieaval word ' To Parler' , that is 'to speak'.
NB Another great bell in London is 'Great Tom' . It is in one of the clocktowers of St., Paul's Cathedral in London.
