This article focuses on the basic metaphorical representation used in the political discourse of the parliamentary debates in the UK. In general political sphere is characterized by high metaphoricity that gives more significance to the information and intensifies its importance. The research demonstrates how the British MPs use the basic universal metaphorical representation of politics as family relations and hunting, as well as their influence on their day-to-day parliamentary work and the procedure of the debates. The formation of these metaphors is studied with the help of propositional and metaphoric modeling, as well as contextual-interpretational and componential analysis. The propositional modeling aims to define the structure of propositions in the source domains family life, hunting and in the target domain politics. The metaphoric modeling helps to explain the mechanism of source and target domains' integration. This paper deals with the peculiarities of source domain and the target domain realization in the UK parliamentary debates. It determines cognitive background and extralinguistic factors influencing the usage of the metaphoric model in the British parliamentary debates. It also highlights the importance of traditions and norms in the British parliamentary debates and deals with the hansards that represent the events and phenomena of the post-Thatcher period in the UK parliament.
