In the weekends they are supposed to be visiting the places they represent. They have very little time for their families. The party system MPs know that they owe their position in the Parliament to their party so they usually vote as their party tells them to. This is controlled by the Whips (MPs chosen among each others from their parties). They inform the MPs how to vote. There is a tradition that if the government loses a vote in a in Parliament on a big matter they must resign so for the voting day all the MPs have to vote even if they hadn't been there for the debates.
