Please link your source.

This is a noun phrase.

It describes members of parliament. = People elected to Parliament

by the electorate = the people in the overall population who are eligible to vote.

in the general election = a regularly scheduled election (not a special election)

who are accountable to the citizens = who represent the interests of the citizens
