It was in 1295 when the King coatedEdward I invited the three levels which included the clerical and cular nobles, knights, and the public to join the Great Council. And then in 1343 the Great Council was divided into two hous. Tho who were summoned “by name” made up the Hou of Lords and the reprentatives of communities made up the Hou of Commons. The members of the Hou of Lords were the nobility who had directly got lands from the king while the members of the Hou of Commons had to emerge by the votes of all free landowners.

f the Ros required the county governors to elect the people he wanted to join the Hou of Commons, which made the election of the Hou of Commons in name only. However, in 18th century, things have been greatly improved. As industrial revolution was developing vigorously and the growing bourgeoisie, especially the industrial bourgeoisie and the proletariat were strongly demanding the right to engage in politics, in 1830 the whig party that reprented the bourgeoisie propod a law, the later famous law of the 1832 electoral reform, to reform the electoral system, which is the first law about reforming the election. The law redistributed the ats of the parliament and reduced the limits of the property qualifications of the voters as well. The law achieved a big success as it made the ats of the parliament win the reasonable allocation and enlarged the rank of the voters.

General elections of the United Kingdom now
Nowadays, as people are more willing to speak out about their requirement and gain the equal rights to participate in political life, the general elections are more important than the past in the United Kingdom. So it is really necessary for the citizens to vote for the candidate of their choices.
And with the years of improvement, the general elections have a complete system now. The United Kingdom is divided into the 650 geographical areas, also called the “constituencies”. Every geographical area elects one citizen to stand as a member of parliament. So the Parliament consists of 650 MPs and the British people are reprente
d in Parliament by one of the 650 members of parliament. But who can stand for elections as an MP? The answer is anyone who is eligible to vote can stand as an MP as long as you make a deposit of 500 pounds. However, you are likely to lo it if you don’t even receive at least 5 percent of the vote in your geographical areas. Therefore, it is so obvious that the deposit of the 500 pounds is just a method to stop some people from running just for a joke. Isn’t it a marvelous method? The parliament can’t hold jokers. It needs people who have good personalities and conscientious working attitude so that the appeal of the British people can be heard through the 650 members of parliament.
