How does it work? Are the Parliament members elected and the leader of the majority party is made prime minister? Or is it the reverse, or something else entirely? Please explain simply, I really don't get politics in general, let alone foreign politics.

Some one from England was just explaining that to me last week. It is very different than here. The members of Parliament are each elected and then the Prime Minister is chosen by the members of Parliament. Seems weird to us here in the states.

You got it [ simpler than U.S. ! where these 'primaries' are so boring ! ], a General Election is held, each area votes for a local candidate, from any party, candidates with most votes is elected to parliament. Party with most elected members forms government, and leader of that majority party is Prime Minister. Big difference is the Prime Minster can be replaced by the party if he is unpopular [ you're stuck with your president even if he sux ! ]
