"I am not familiar with the specifics of US lawmakers. Maybe Senators etc govern but MP's do not."
In even a Parliamentary system, the MPs would be considered "part of the government" in that they have a legislative function and create the "government" by appointing a PM from the majority party in the House of Commons - to be rubber-stamped by the Crown.
Your limiting of the word "government" to encompass only the chief executive is way too narrow.

You are looking at this through the eyes of an American system. They are completely different.
1. MP's are not considered part of any Government. Only those chosen by the PM to be ministers are the Government.
2.Most legislation is created by those ministers. The rest is created by the major party who have to have the support of the Government to pass it. Other MP's can propose legislation, but they cannot get it passed without the says so of said Government.
3. Galloway is not a member of the governing party.
What you are saying is that those who lost the General Election are in Government. This is obviously untrue.
