The men and women who from the House of Commons are called Members of Parliament (MPs) and each geographical area they represent called a constituency. There are 659 in the UK: 529 in England, 40 in Wales, 72 in Scotland and 18 in Northern Ireland. This constituency are not the same geographical size. Some cover a large area, in places where not many people live, while others cover a very small area if the number of resident very large.
