    It's the lower chamber of our Parliament, and the one with the "real" power. The Prime Minister and the majority of Cabinet Ministers are members of the House of Commons.

    They're called Commoners to distinguish them from the other chamber, the House of Lords. The Commons is made up of the "common" people, whereas the Lords the aristocracy.

    Why exactly are they inviting people in, aren't you supposed to be able to go in at any time, open democracy and all that?
