Member of the Legislative Assembly
A Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) is a representative elected to sit in a legislative assembly. The term most commonly refers to members of the legislature of a federated state or an autonomous region, but is also used for several national legislatures.
Members of the Legislative Assemblies of New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria, and the Houses of Assembly of South Australia and Tasmania use the suffix MP. Previously, these states used the suffixes MLA and MHA respectively.
Members of the Legislative Assemblies of Western Australia, Northern Territory, and Australian Capital Territory are known as MLAs. However, the suffix MP is also commonly used.
In the federal parliament, members of the House of Representatives are designated MP and not MHR.
In Brazil, members of all 26 legislative assemblies (Portuguese: assembléias legislativas) are called deputados estaduais (English: state deputies). Unlike the federal legislative body which is bicameral, Brazilian state legislatures are unicameral.
The Federal District legislative assembly is called the Legislative Chamber (Portuguese: Câmara Legislativa) and is composed of deputados distritais (English: district deputies). Members of the Lower House are also called deputies, but they are deputados federais (English: federal deputies).
In Canada, members of the federal House of Commons of Canada are described as members of Parliament (MPs) and members of the Senate as senators, although both the House and Senate are part of the Parliament of Canada. Both senators and MPs are considered to be parliamentarians. Members of provincial and territorial legislative assemblies are called MLAs in all provinces and territories except:
This means that despite the fact that ten out of thirteen provinces and territories use the term "MLA", a large majority (62.8%) of Canadians refer to their provincial legislators as something other than "MLA" (due to Ontario's large population, slightly more people use the term "MPP" alone than use "MLA").
