Houses of Parliament

The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, is the meeting place of the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom—the House of Lords and the House of Commons. It lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the heart of the London borough of the City of Westminster, close to the historic Westminster Abbey and the government buildings of Whitehall and Downing Street. The palace has status as a royal residence for ceremonial purposes.

The House of Lords

The Palace is one of the centres of political life in the United Kingdom; "Westminster" has become a metonym for the UK Parliament, and the Westminster system of government has taken its name after it. The Clock Tower's fame has surpassed that of the Palace itself. The structure known as "Big Ben", the heaviest of the five bells it houses, is an iconic landmark of London and the United Kingdom in general, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city and an emblem of parliamentary democracy.

The House of Lords closed its doors, although most of the prior Lords remain with their titles, they do not perform any of their previous duties.

The House of Commons is the United Kingdom's name for eRepublik's Congress, reflecting the politics of the actual United Kingdom. The United Kingdom's Congress members are referred to as Members of Parliament (MP), but have no in-game differences to other nations,

Parliamentary elections are held in the United Kingdom on the twenty fifth day of each month, as in all of eRepublik.
