The SELECT DISTINCT ?person line says that we want to SELECT all values of ?person - ie the items representing MPs - and that we would like it to be de-duplicated (DISTINCT) should any items for whatever reason appear twice. Then WHERE { ... } encloses the query itself. You will note that we are getting more results than the expected 650 - this is because it does not know about time, so is returning retired/deceased members as well as currently active ones. To get the whole lot using our "all Parliaments" query:
