A member of parliament ( MP ) is the representative in parliament of the people who live in their electoral district . The terms congressman/congresswoman or deputy are terms that mean the same thing used in other places or systems. Members of parliament usually make parliamentary groups (sometimes called caucuses ) with members of the same political party . In all states , the prime minister and the government ministers who make up the cabinet , are often members of parliament.
