And labor is the Labor, or as they spell it Labour party.

MP= Member of Parliament, more or less equivalent to a member of the US House of Representatives.

Labour (UK spelling)= Labor Union Socialist. Prime Minister Blair is Labour but is genuinely a man struggling with deep ethical and personal religious issues (should he convert to his judge wife's Roman Catholicism?), and is highly atypical.

The British Parliament consists of the House of Commons and House of Lords.
