Politics is about power. The power to say something about how the country are being runed. In British politics you either win os you loose when you run for election. If you loose you arn´t alaoud to sit in Parlament.
The Parliment are made up of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Both houses meet in the Palace of Westminster.
On election day(wich always is a thursday) the polling stations are open all day so as many people as possible can vote. In England you can also vote by post wich makes it a little easier for the once that can´t get to the polling posts. Theres only one person who´s elected, the person with the most votes. The winner takes it all.

Nice entry! I think it's fair that "the winner takes it all", really. It's good to hear that the some people that are not able to actually cast their vote by the polling posts can do it by post. It most likely makes more people happy about the voting results.
SvarSlettI liked this post about UK politics. You describe how the winner takes it all, and you does it short and simple. I liked that you started straight into the text, with; politics is about power. However,you could have written a bit more about the fact that thousands of votes feels "wasted" when the person who wins takes it all.
SvarSlettGood comments from the both of you. Your entry is descriptive of some aspects around the election. Remember to look over the text before you post it. That goes for the comments too!
