Its Rajive gandhi... He was that PM with a vision far ahead of is times and get the bill passed in the parliament with his brutal majority that congress had in the parliament. This bill prevented MPs from switching the parties after getting elected. After the law, now 1/3rd majority is required to defect a party other wise the defected MPs will lose their membership.
Some would say far too many. I think it's now 650.... I'd better check. 646 it is.
the parliament now has more and more people from different backgrounds.There are more rural members as also members from many regional parties.Groups and people that were till now unpresented are beginning to get elected to the parliament
As of right now there is not a current MP in the 11th parliament of Kenya. There are many people that are looking into it.
Differences between parliament today and in 1295;
There are currently 650 Members of Parliament seated in the House of Commons. However, Government proposals have been brought forward to reduce the number of MPs to 600. Whilst recent political developments make it appear as though these changes will now be defeated in the Commons and not take place for the 56th Parliament (2015 - 2020, barring early dissolution), if the law implementing these changes is not repealed by 2020, the 57th Parliament (2020 - 2025, barring early dissolution) and all subsequent Parliaments will have only 600 members in the House of Commons.
Your question is unclear. Exactly when are you referring to? Before the October 2008 election? Right now? Currently (Dec 2008) the Canadian parliament has this make up: Conservatives: 143 Liberals: 77 Bloc: 49 NDP: 37 Independent: 2 After the 2006 General Election, the NDP had 29 seats. They increased their number by 10 seats from the previous election when they held 19 seats.
I think it is a fair bet there are a lot more now than there will be after the next General Election in UK: Currently (May 2009) there are 350 Labour MPs.
In 1625 King Charles marries a Catholic. In 1628 he collects the tax without the Parliaments permission, so Charles and the Parliament split up. In 1637 Scotland rebel against the new prayer King Charles published. In 1640 Charles wants to collect money to fight Scotland, so he joins with the Parliament again. In 1641 a Catholic plot is to be feared. In 1642 Charles arrests 5 MPs, so the Parliament is extremely annoyed. They also argue about religion. A well as this the Parliament want to control the army. Now the Parliament go too far, so the King and his followers leave London. Then the Civil War began. King Charles and his followers called the royalists, and the Parliament and their followers called the round-heads are against each other. The Civil War takes place during 1642-1651. Even though King Charles has a rich army, they do not work well together and aren't as thoughtful as the Parliament. This is why King Charles lost the Civil War. In 1648 King Charles persuades Scotland to invade England, but King Charles' plan get discovered and so he is arrested and then was executed.
As of April 2013 there have been 266 popes.
Few, most would be Christian/Catholic schools.
