Ibagli is an island country located in the South Pacific Ocean. Ibagli was originally inhabited by Polynesian peoples, it began to be settled by Europeans in the 1820s. Colonized by the British in the mid-19th Century, it obtained independence in 1955.
The House of Commons is the lower house of the Parliament of Ibagli. It was created in 1955 upon the independence of Ibagli out of the Legislative Assembly of Ibagli.
The House currently has 60 members, all of whom are elected in first-past-the-post districts.
As the lower house, the House of Commons holds much greater power than the Senate. Though the agreement of both houses is necessary to pass a bill, the Senate traditionally does not block the will of the democratically elected House.
The Government of the day is responsible solely to the House of Commons. The Prime Minister and his or her cabinet must maintain the confidence of the House in order to govern. Therefore, the Prime Minister is traditionally the leader of the majority party of the House of Commons.
The House is presided over by its Speaker. The Speaker cannot vote on any matters unless there is a tie, and must remain neutral on most issues.
