In parliamentary terms, "ping pong" refers to the process of back-and-forth exchanges that occur between the two houses of a legislature, typically the House of Commons and the House of Lords in the UK. When one house amends a piece of legislation, it sends it back to the other house for consideration. This can lead to multiple rounds of revisions and negotiations until both houses reach an agreement. The term captures the iterative nature of this legislative process, similar to a ping pong game where the ball is repeatedly hit back and forth.
