Парламент Великої Британії, що здійснює законодавчу владу в країні, складається з двох палат: палати громад і палати лордів. Королева також здійснює законодавчу владу у
своїй конституційній ролі. Законопроекти мають бути прийняті обома палатами, а потім отримати королівську згоду. Тільки після цього вони стають законами.
Найголовнішим елементом парламентської влади є палата громад, що налічує 651 зиборного депутата, кожний з яких представляє окремий виборчий округ. За результатами регулярного перегляду виборчих округів кількість парламентарів поступово зростає на кожних наступних загальних виборах. Палата лордів включає спадкоємних і прижиттєвих перів та перес, двох архієпископів та 24 найголовніших єпископів англіканської церкви. Палата лордів як ревізійний орган має доповнювати палату громад, а не змагатися з нею. Лорди мають право зідкладати прийняття більшості законів на рік, однак рідко користуються ним.
