Parliament, (the name derives from the French verb 'parlez'- to talk) is the legislative and oversight forum of the government, in the United Kingdom.

This forum actually consists of 2 Chambers;

The Commons: a forum of elected members, with responsibility for drafting legislation, its members are also responsible for the various Offices of the State, to which individuals are appointed by the Prime Minister. Members of non-governmental parties form the Opposition. Selected members of these parties, are frequently appointed by their party leaders, to shadow the Officers of State and propose alternative policies.

The Lords: a forum of Appointees, some of which a hereditary, others not. Some Appointees are drawn from the Judiciary and the Church. Their function is to oversee the proposed legislation of the Commons, if necessary recommending changes. They generally have no responsibility for the Offices of State.
