Aldridge-Brownhills (UK Parliament constituency)

Aldridge-Brownhills /ˈɔːldrɪ brnhɪlz/ is a constituency in the West Midlands, represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by Wendy Morton of the Conservative Party.

Constituency profile

A Labour Party MP served the constituency from its formation in February 1974 until 1979, when it was won by the Conservative who was to serve as its representative for thirty-six years. Richard Shepherd kept his seat at his party's landslide defeat of 1997 which saw Labour claim many of the Conservative safe seats. In 2014, Richard Shepherd announced he would not stand for election in the United Kingdom general election in 2015. Wendy Morton was selected to run for the seat and secured it with a safe majority.

Boundaries

1974-1983: The Urban District of Aldridge-Brownhills.

1983-2010: The Metropolitan Borough of Walsall wards of Aldridge Central and South, Aldridge North and Walsall Wood, Brownhills, Hatherton Rushall, Pelsall, and Streetly.

Parliament of the United Kingdom

The Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the UK Parliament or the British Parliament, is the supreme legislative body in the United Kingdom, British Crown dependencies and British overseas territories. It alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in the UK and its territories. Its head is the Sovereign of the United Kingdom (currently Queen Elizabeth II) and its seat is the Palace of Westminster in Westminster, London.

The parliament is bicameral, consisting of an upper house (the House of Lords) and a lower house (the House of Commons). The Sovereign forms the third component of the legislature (the Queen-in-Parliament). The House of Lords includes two different types of members: the Lords Spiritual, consisting of the most senior bishops of the Church of England, and the Lords Temporal, consisting of members of the peerage and life peers who are appointed by the Sovereign on the advice of the Prime Minister. Prior to the opening of the Supreme Court in October 2009, the House of Lords also performed a judicial role through the Law Lords.

List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies

There are 650 constituencies in the United Kingdom, each electing a single Member of Parliament to the House of Commons at least every five years.Voting last took place in 650 of those constituencies at the United Kingdom general election on 7 May 2015. 330 are held by the Conservative Party, 232 are held by the Labour Party, 56 are held by the Scottish National Party, 8 are held by the Liberal Democrats, 3 are held by Plaid Cymru, 1 is held by UKIP, 1 is held by the Green Party of England and Wales, and there are 18 Northern Ireland seats held by different parties. In addition there is the constituency of the Speaker.

The number of seats rose from 646 at the 2005 general election after proposals made by the Boundary Commissions for England, Wales and Northern Ireland were adopted through statutory instruments. Constituencies in Scotland remained unchanged, with the Boundary Commission for Scotland having completed a review shortly prior to the 2005 general election.

Parliament

In modern politics and history, a parliament is a legislative, elected body of government. Generally a modern parliament has three functions: representing the electorate, making laws, and overseeing the government (i.e., hearings, inquiries).

Although some restrict the use of the word parliament to parliamentary systems, it is also commonly used to describe the legislature in presidential systems (i.e. the French parliament), even where it is not in the official name.

Historically, parliaments included various kinds of deliberative, consultative, and judicial assemblies (i.e. the mediaeval parlements).

Etymology

The term is derived from Anglo-Norman parlement, from the verb parler 'talk'. The meaning evolved over time: originally any discussion, conversation, or negotiation (attested around 1100), through various kinds of deliberative or judicial groups, often summoned by the monarch. By 1400, it had come to mean in Britain specifically the British supreme legislature.

Origins

Various parliaments are claimed to be the oldest in the world, under varying definitions:

Parliament of Singapore

The Parliament of the Republic of Singapore and the President jointly make up the legislature of Singapore. Parliament is unicameral and is made up of Members of Parliament (MPs) who are elected, as well as Non-constituency Members of Parliament (NCMPs) and Nominated Members of Parliament (NMPs) who are appointed. Following the 2011 general election, 87 MPs were elected, and three NCMPs appointed to the 12th Parliament. Nine NMPs were appointed during the first session of this Parliament. The first sitting of the 12th Parliament took place on 10 October 2011. It was subsequently dissolved on 25 August 2015, with a general election scheduled on 11 September 2015.

Grand National Assembly of Turkey

The Grand National Assembly of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi), usually referred to simply as the TBMM or Parliament (Turkish: Meclis), is the unicameral Turkish legislature. It is the sole body given the legislative prerogatives by the Turkish Constitution. It was founded in Ankara on 23 April 1920 in the midst of the Turkish War of Independence. The parliament was fundamental in the efforts of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his colleagues to found a new state out of the remnants of the Ottoman Empire in the aftermath of World War I.

History

Turkey has had a history of parliamentary government before the establishment of the current national parliament. These include attempts at curbing absolute monarchy during the Ottoman Empire through constitutional monarchy, as well as establishments of caretaker national assemblies immediately prior to the declaration of the Republic of Turkey in 1923 but after the de facto dissolution of the Ottoman Empire earlier in the decade.

Electoral district

An electoral district (also known as a constituency, riding, ward, division, electoral area or electorate) is a territorial subdivision for electing members to a legislative body. Generally, only voters (constituents) who reside within the district are permitted to vote in an election held there. From a single district, a single member or multiple members might be chosen. Members might be chosen by a first past the post system or a proportional representative system, or another method entirely. Members might be chosen through an election with universal suffrage or an indirect election, or some other method.

One role of MPs in the UK Parliament is to represent their constituents in areas where the UK Parliament takes decisions eg immigration or defence. MPs either debate or ask questions in the House of Commons or they work in smaller groups known as committees. Other important roles of MPs in Parliament are to help make laws and to scrutinise (check-up on) the work of the government or investigate issues. #houseofcommons #houseoflords #parliamentarydemocracyinbritain The House of Lords The House of Lords is the second chamber of the UK Parliament. The role of the House of Lords is to help make laws as well as check-on the work of government and investigate issues. Most peers have been appointed by the Queen on the advice of a prime minister in recognition of their expertise in a particular area eg business, law or science. Others are Church of England bishops and 92 are hereditary peers or people with titles (such as Barons or Viscounts) who have inherited the right to sit in the Lords. The Monarchy The House of Lords is where Her Majesty reads the Queens Speech every year, but the speech is written for her by the Prime Minister The UK's political system can be described as a constitutional monarchy with a king or queen as Head of State. However, it is the Houses of Parliament that make our laws, not the monarch. The monarch only formally passes legislation - this is known as Royal Assent. When a parliamentary Bill is given Royal Assent it becomes an Act of Parliament. It is then up to the relevant government department to implement that law. For example, the Transport department will deal with new Acts relating to transport. The monarch must remain politically neutral and does not interfere with the legislative process. No monarch has refused Parliament's wishes for over 300 years. Constitutionally, the UK Government is his/her Majesty's Government. Every year the monarch goes to the House of Lords to open a new session of Parliament. The monarch reads ‘The Queen’s Speech’ which announces what the government plans to do in the coming year. It is written by the Prime Minister.

Aldridge-Brownhills (UK Parliament constituency)

Aldridge-Brownhills /ˈɔːldrɪ brnhɪlz/ is a constituency in the West Midlands, represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by Wendy Morton of the Conservative Party.

Constituency profile

A Labour Party MP served the constituency from its formation in February 1974 until 1979, when it was won by the Conservative who was to serve as its representative for thirty-six years. Richard Shepherd kept his seat at his party's landslide defeat of 1997 which saw Labour claim many of the Conservative safe seats. In 2014, Richard Shepherd announced he would not stand for election in the United Kingdom general election in 2015. Wendy Morton was selected to run for the seat and secured it with a safe majority.

Boundaries

1974-1983: The Urban District of Aldridge-Brownhills.

1983-2010: The Metropolitan Borough of Walsall wards of Aldridge Central and South, Aldridge North and Walsall Wood, Brownhills, Hatherton Rushall, Pelsall, and Streetly.
