	Election Resources on the Internet: Parliamentary Elections in the U.K. - Elections to the House of Commons
		The United Kingdom Parliament is composed of the Crown, that is the monarch, the House of Lords, an appointive and hereditary upper chamber, and the popularly elected lower chamber, the House of Commons.
		The latter enjoys supremacy over the former: the House of Lords' powers, originally equal to those of the House of Commons, were drastically reduced in 1911 and 1949 to delay of nonmoney (non-fiscal) bills.
		From 1918 until 1985, parliamentary candidates were required to submit a £150 deposit, which was forfeited in the event the candidate failed to secure one-eight (12.5%) of all valid votes.

	Parliamentary supremacy - LegalOwl (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In British constitutional law, parliamentary supremacy is the principle that the current parliament of the United Kingdom is supreme to all other governmental institutions including the monarch and the court s, and may change legislation passed by previous parliaments.
		And in fact the unqualified supremacy, bestowed upon the constitution, is equally a guaranty of state and of federal powers, as is demonstrated by the positive limitation of the supremacy bestowed on federal laws, to such as were conformable to the restricted legislative power, created by the constitution.
		For example, a regime of unicameral parliamentary supremacy might be said to have a constitution that allows a parliamentary majority to pass any legislation that it pleases and to override the courts or executive whenever the legislature is in disagreement with their actions.

		Essentially, Harper appears to value the supremacy of Parliament only when he is desperately trying to prevent same-sex couples from exercising their fundamental human rights.
