ABSTRACT
The major political parties have a similar organisational structure in Parliament. The Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat Parties have a system of election for the party leader, and are organised into front and backbench Members. Looking at the Commons as a whole, we see that it comprises the government, elected on the basis of the simple majority vote, Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, being the second largest party in the House, and minority parties – Liberal Democrat, Ulster Unionist, Scottish Nationalist, Plaid Cymru.
