ORDINARY MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT
These are elected Members of Parliament (also known as backbenchers).
They do not hold front-bench responsibilities as government ministers, shadow ministers, or party spokespersons.
Although every MP will be a paid-up member of their chosen party, when thinking about ordinary party members you should focus on regular party members than the influence of backbenchers.
