I’m sure that there are some ridings (that’s what they call districts in the UK, right?)

No, they are called constituencies in the UK. You're thinking of Canada, where election districts are indeed called ridings.

Oops, sorry. Thanks for clarifying.

I like the term “constituencies.” It emphasizes the representative nature of legislatures.
