A Member of Parliament is the representative of the voters to a parliament. In many countries with bicameral parliaments, this category includes specifically members of the lower house, as upper houses often have a different title, such as senate, and thus also have different titles for its members, such as senator.
Members of parliament tend to form parliamentary groups with members of the same political party. In everyday use, the term Member of Parliament is almost always shortened to the initialism MP, and this is also common in the media.

To be after something generally refers to trying to obtain, achieve or reach something, to pursue a particular objective, or wanting to talk or interact with someone. It can also be used in the context of a time connotation, meaning that one event is following after another in sequence.

Order Lepidodendrales is a classification of extinct plant species that lived during the Carboniferous and early Permian periods (about 360 to 258 million years ago). This order belongs to the division Lycopodiophyta (club mosses and their extinct relatives). Species of this order, most famously Lepidodendron, are characterized by their tree-like structure, scale-like leaves, and the presence of cones or cone-like structures. They grew in wet environments such as swamps and contributed to coal formation.

Trachelospermum is a genus of about 15 species of evergreen woody vines in the dogbane family Apocynaceae. All species are native to southern and eastern Asia except for T. difforme, which can be found in southeastern North America.
They have long stems climbing to 12 m or more high in trees. The leaves are opposite, simple broad lanceolate to ovate, 2–8 cm long and 0.5–4 cm broad. The flowers are salverform, simple, 2.5–7 cm broad, with five white, pale yellow or purple petals joined together at the base to form a tube.
The generic name Trachelospermum comes from the Greek, literally meaning neck seed, and referring to the seed shape.
