Mp

MP is a common initialism with several meanings. In politics, it stands for Member of Parliament, a person elected to a legislative body in many Commonwealth countries and other systems. MPs debate laws, scrutinize the government, and represent constituents. Elections determine who serves as an MP, and tenure varies by country; examples include the UK House of Commons, Canada's House of Commons, and India's Lok Sabha.

In a military context, MP means Military Police, the police arm of the armed forces. Military police enforce discipline, protect people and property, conduct investigations, and secure bases and operations. Their powers and organization vary by country.

In technology and imaging, MP denotes megapixel, a unit of image resolution. A megapixel equals one million pixels, used to describe digital camera or sensor resolution. Higher megapixels can improve detail, but quality also depends on sensor size, lenses, and processing.

Other uses exist, depending on field, so context is important. MP is a general acronym; without context it is ambiguous.
