the Parliament
Le Parliament est composé selon la constitution britannique des deux "Houses of Parliament" et de la reine. Les deux "Houses of Parliament" siègent dans le "Palace of Westminster" à Londres. La Chambre basse, élue par le peuple et composée par la plupart des ministres, s'appelle "House of Commons". Ses membres sont les "members of parliament" ou "MPs". La Chambre haute, "House of Lords", peut voter exceptionnellement des lois. Les députés, "peers of the realm", se divisent en trois groupes. Certains ont de par leur fonction, soit en tant que juges, les "law lords", soit en tant qu'évêques de l'église anglicane, la "Church of England", un siège dans la Chambre haute. D'autres sont élus à vie en tant que "life peers" et d'autres encore ont obtenu leur siège de par leur titre de noblesse héréditaire. Une commission de juges de la "House of Lords" intervient dans la plupart des affaires en tant qu'instance juridique suprême du Royaume-Uni.
cheerleader
Les Cheerleaders sont aux USA des jeunes filles qui supportent leur équipe sportive. Elles orchestrent le cri des supporters et divertissent le public par des intermèdes pendant lesquels elles utilisent souvent des "pompons". L'uniforme des "Cheerleaders" se compose le plus souvent d'une robe courte ou d'une jupette avec un chemisier, de soquettes et de chaussures de cuir, le tout aux couleurs de l'école ou de l'équipe.
