The Bundestag is the German federal parliament. It is the only federal representative body that is directly elected by the German people,comparable to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. The Bundestag was established by Title III of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 as one of the legislative bodies of Germany and thus it is the historical successor to the earlier Reichstag.
The House of Lords is the upper house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Like the lower house,the House of Commons,it meets in the Palace of Westminster in London,England.

The single transferable vote (STV),sometimes known as proportional ranked choice voting (P-RCV),is a multi-winner electoral system in which each voter casts a single vote in the form of a ranked-choice ballot. Voters have the option to rank candidates,and their vote may be transferred according to alternate preferences if their preferred candidate is eliminated or elected with surplus votes,so that their vote is used to elect someone they prefer over others in the running. STV aims to approach proportional representation based on votes cast in the district where it is used,so that each vote is worth about the same as another. Formally,STV satisfies a fairness criterion known as proportionality for solid coalitions.
The speaker of the United States House of Representatives,commonly known as the speaker of the House,is the presiding officer of the United States House of Representatives. The office was established in 1789 by Article I,Section II,of the U.S. Constitution. By custom and House rules,the speaker is the political and parliamentary leader of the House and is simultaneously its presiding officer,de facto leader of the body's majority party,and the institution's administrative head. Speakers also perform various other administrative and procedural functions. Given these several roles and responsibilities,the speaker usually does not personally preside over debates—that duty is instead delegated to members of the House from the majority party—nor regularly participate in floor debates.
A member of parliament (MP) is the representative in parliament of the people who live in their electoral district. In many countries with bicameral parliaments,this term refers only to members of the lower house since upper house members often have a different title. The terms congressman/congresswoman or deputy are equivalent terms used in other jurisdictions. The term parliamentarian is also sometimes used for members of parliament,but this may also be used to refer to unelected government officials with specific roles in a parliament and other expert advisers on parliamentary procedure such as the Senate parliamentarian in the United States. The term is also used to the characteristic of performing the duties of a member of a legislature,for example:"The two party leaders often disagreed on issues,but both were excellent parliamentarians and cooperated to get many good things done."
In many countries,a mayor is the highest-ranking official in a municipal government such as that of a city or a town. Worldwide,there is a wide variance in local laws and customs regarding the powers and responsibilities of a mayor as well as the means by which a mayor is elected or otherwise mandated. Depending on the system chosen,a mayor may be the chief executive officer of the municipal government,may simply chair a multi-member governing body with little or no independent power,or may play a solely ceremonial role. A mayor's duties and responsibilities may be to appoint and oversee municipal managers and employees,provide basic governmental services to constituents,and execute the laws and ordinances passed by a municipal governing body. Options for selection of a mayor include direct election by the public,or selection by an elected governing council or board.
