What the devil is an "MP"?

In the UK that is. Not the Military Police type of MP, but rather an MP in regards to the British Parliment.

I tend to find the writing and reporting of the BBC, Gaurdian, Times of London, etc to be more in line with what I like to read; rather than the NYTimes, Washinton Post/Times, etc. Almost daily I run accross the term MP. I know it's a member of their parliment; but is it the upper or lower house? a member of a specific party? And so on . . .

Anyway, if anyone has any insight I would appreciate it. If not, then it's off to email the BBC.
