The Chambre des Communes is the lower house of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Belmont, which also comprises the Sovereign and the Chambre des Noblesse (the upper house). Both Communes and Noblesse meet in the Château de Royaume. The Communes is a democratically elected body, consisting of 650 members, who are known as Members of the Communes (MCs). Members are elected through the first-past-the-post system by electoral districts known as constituencies. They hold their seats until Parliament is dissolved (a maximum of five years after the preceding election). 
The major power of the Communes is to pass national legislation that affects the entire country, although its bills must also be passed by the Noblesse and further agreed to by the Sovereign before becoming law. The Lord Speaker, traditionally an independent politician, is the presiding officer of the chamber, elected by the members of the Chambre. 
The Government is primarily responsible to the Chambre des Communes; the premier stays in office only as long as he or she retains its support. Almost all government ministers are drawn from the Communes and all Premiers since 1975. 
The Parliament Act 1988 grants the Communes several exclusive powers: the power to initiate revenue bills, to impeach officials, and to call a motion of no confidence in the government.
