Kapulungan ng mga Karaniwan ng United Kingdom

Ang Kapulungan ng mga Karaniwan ng United Kingdom o House of Commons ang mababang kapulungan ng Parlamento ng United Kingdom na tulad ng Kapulungan ng mga Panginoon(ang mataas ng kapulungan) ay nagpupulong sa Palasyo ng Westminster. Ang Mga Karaniwan o Commons ay isang demokratikong nahahalal na katawan na binubuo ng 650 kasapi na kilala bilang mga Mga kasapi ng Parlamento o MP. Ang mga kasapi nito ay nahahalalal upang ikatawan ang mga konstituensiya ayon sa first-past-the-post at nananatili sa kanilang mga upuan sa kapulungan hanggang sa pagbuwag nito ng Parlamento. Ang Kapulungan ng mga Karaniwan ng Inglatera ay nagebolb sa isang punto sa Inglater noong ika-14 siglo na naging Kapulungan ng mga Karaniwan ng Gran Britanya pagkatapos ng unyong pampolitika sa Scotland noong 1707 at noong ika-19 na siglo ang United Kingdom ng Gran Britanya at Ireland pagkatapos ng unyong pampolitika sa Ireland bago ang pagkuha nito ng kasaulukyang pamagat pagkatapos na ang kalayaan ay ibigay sa Malayang Estadong Irish noong 1922. Sa ilalim ng Aktong Parlamento ng 1911, ang kapangyarihan ng Kapulungan ng mga panginoon na magtakwil ng lehislasyon ay napaliit sa isang kapangyarihang pagpapaantala nito. Ang Pamahalaan ay pangunahing responsable sa Kapulungan ng mga Karaniwan at ang Punong Ministro ng United Kingdom ay nananatili sa opisina nito habang napapanatili nito ang suporta nito.

Try and sneak a look at what's under the books on the central table. We hear there's a very lewd piece of graffiti scratched into the surface, involving a former Prime Minister and genitalia.

They don't allow you to sit down on the green benches :( However you might be able to get away with a sneaky sliding hand across the back of a front bench, the upholstery feels good.
