Westminster has been seen as too complicated, and too hard to understand, for too long. But the basics of #YourParliament are simple - the House of Commons represents and acts for UK citizens, and checks and challenges the work of Government. https://t.co/HttxtOQtFA — PolitiTweet.org

Emily Wilding Davison, a leading suffragette, hid in a broom cupboard during the 1911 census in order to declare the House of Commons her address.
