The Parliament of Barbados is the national legislature of Barbados.It is accorded legislative supremacy by Chapter V of the Constitution of Barbados. [1] The Parliament is bicameral in composition [2] and is formally made up of two houses, an appointed Senate (Upper house) and an elected House of Assembly (Lower house), as well as the President of Barbados who is indirectly elected by both.
The government has been chosen by elections since 1961 elections, when Barbados achieved full self-governance.Before then, the government was a Crown colony consisting of either colonial administration solely (such as the Executive Council), or a mixture of colonial rule and a partially elected assembly, such as the Legislative Council.
The House of Assembly of Barbados is the lower house of the bicameral Parliament of Barbados. It has 30 Members of Parliament (MPs), who are directly elected in single member constituencies using the simple-majority (or first-past-the-post ) system for a term of five years.
Each constituency elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. The total number of constituencies varies as the boundaries are subject to regular review by an independent Boundary Commission. Often some constituencies are abolished or created anew in the reviews.
