The House of Commons.
The House of Commons is part of the legislative branch of government.
Each Member of Parliament holds a single seat. Canada doesn't have a position called "majority leader". The equivalent position in Canada is Leader of the Government. Like in the US House of Representatives, the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons is not truly the leader of their party, that being the Prime Minister (as opposed to the Speaker of the House as is the case in the US). For a party to form a majority government, it must have over half the seats in the House of Commons. Currently, this means at least 155 members. The current government (as of March, 2011) is a minority government, with 143 seats.
no: It is a Constitutional Monarchy. The British are ruled by HM Queen Elizabeth II & a Bicameral House of Parliament, subject to election in the lower house(The House Of Commons) every 5 years. Though a General Election may be called early if the commons believe (as a majority) that the current government is not fit for purpose.
The Speaker of the House of Commons oversees all proceedings that occur in the House of Commons. If the Speaker is not present, one of his deputies will be in control of the House's debates and votes.
The government of the United Kingdom normally has a majority over all other parties in the House of Commons. At present (2007) that majority is a little over 60 seats (in a House with 646 seats overall).
Peter Van Loan is the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons for Canada.
