Election

MPs are elected to represent constituencies in the House of Assembly. Elections are done with the first-past-the-post system in each constituency for their MP. The party that has the most MPs elected to the house form the government.

All members of parliament are entitled to the post-nominal MP upon election.

In house sittings, MPs in government are addressed as "The Right Honourable Member for [Constituency]" by the opposition or as "My Right Honourable Friend, the Member for [Constituency]" by other members of the government. Members of the opposition are addressed similarly but with "The Honourable" instead of "The Right Honourable".
