Parliament of the United Kingdom (Q11010)

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Parliament of the United Kingdom is the supreme legislative body of the United Kingdom, the Crown dependencies and the British overseas territories. It alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in the UK and the overseas territories. Parliament is bicameral but has three parts, consisting of the sovereign (Crown-in-Parliament), the House of Lords, and the House of Commons (the primary chamber). Parliament is also tasked with enforcing the laws that it passes. The political party or party coalition that controls the majority of seats in the lower house (commons) chooses the national executive for the country, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The Prime Minister and their cabinet wield the executive powers for the entire country but must possess the confidence of Parliament otherwise, lose their office. Because of this it is not unusual for Parliament to hold elections more frequently than the required five years. Both houses meet in the Palace of Westminster in the City of Westminster, one of the inner boroughs of the capital city, London.
