True or False: The candidate with the most votes in each electoral district becomes the MP for that district.

True
False
Not mentioned
Irrelevant

The correct answer is: True

This statement is true because in most electoral systems, the candidate who receives the most votes in a specific district or constituency is declared the winner and becomes its elected representative or Member of Parliament (MP). This is known as a "first-past-the-post" system. However, it should be noted that in some electoral systems, such as proportional representation, the number of votes a party or candidate receives in the entire country can determine the number of seats they get in parliament, rather than simply the number of votes in a particular district. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they either contradict or do not provide relevant information about the statement.
