Britain's parliamentary elections will be in December, and the parliament will be disbanded before the general election. The British Parliament was officially disbanded and the general election was opened at midnight on the local time. The House of Representatives has no legislative affairs before the new Parliament is elected. The dissolution of the parliament means that both the House of Commons and the House of Lords have stopped their activities. The new House of Commons will be elected on December 12,2019, and the House of Lords will retain their positions.

Whether Congress's term of office is five years, the government loses the trust of the lower house, or the prime minister has proposed automatically, the lower house will be dissolved, and then a general election will be held. If the prime minister's party is still the majority of the lower house after the general election, the prime minister can continue to stay; if his party loses most of its advantages in the general election, the prime minister will be forced to resign.

The British Parliament consists of three parts, the monarch, the upper house of the upper house, and the lower house of commons as the lower house. The House of Lords is currently 810. Members of the Upper House include the descendants of the royal family, the hereditary nobles, the life-long nobles, the judges of the Court of Appeal and the Archbishop of the Church and the Bishop. Members of the upper house shall be held for life-long, non-elected, nominated by political parties, by the Royal Commission, or by hereditary and other means. Non-political appointees are recommended by a special royal commission. The archbishop and the bishop of the church are called "a parliamentarian", descendants of the royal family, hereditary nobles, life-long nobles, and the judges of the Court of Appeal are " Members of the House of Lords do not have a salary to attend the meetings and activities of the Parliament on a voluntary basis. However, members of the House of Lords are present at meetings and activities of the House of Lords, and can enjoy the benefits of transportation, accommodation, food, etc. In addition, members of the upper house are members of the office, The British House of Commons has 650 members. Unlike the House of Lords, the House of Commons is the most influential deliberative body through democratic elections. The majority of the elected MPs are called members of Parliament and Congress is not more than five years.

Since 2011, every member of the House of Commons has been elected by voters in a district, and since then, he has represented the district in Parliament. At present, most of the cabinet ministers of the British government come from the House of Commons, and since 1902, successive prime ministers have also been members of the House of Commons. MPs are paid, and since April 2016, the basic annual salary has been £74962 a year, according to the British Parliament website. Historically, the House of Commons has far less power than the House of Lords, but now the House of Commons dominates both houses. At present, the legislative power of the House of Commons can surpass that of the House of Lords, and according to Congress < 1911 The power of the House of Lords to reject most of the bills was reduced to simply delaying the passage of the bills. In addition, the British government is accountable to the House of Commons, and the Prime Minister will resign if he loses the support of the House of Commons. When the House of Commons really loses confidence in the government, the prime minister is obliged to resign or ask the British king to dissolve parliament and hold an election as soon as possible. Unless forced by a vote by opposition parties, the prime minister may, in general, dissolve parliament with the permission of the British king and then hold a general election.Since 2011, every member of the House of Commons has been elected by voters in a district, and since then, he has represented the district in Parliament.

The prime minister believes the current parliament is a hindrance to the government's work, so he hopes a new general election will be held in the hope that the new parliament will make Brexit smoother. Opposition from other parties is not conducive to Brexit negotiations. Labour, for example, threatened to vote against an agreement between the British government and the European Union, the Liberal Democratic Party said it would bring the government to a standstill, the Scottish National Party threatened to oppose the abolition of European Union law, and unelected members of the House of Lords had vowed to fight the government to the end. Since the Conservative Party is currently in the lead, after the early general election, once the Conservative Party is elected by a clear margin, the number of Conservative Party seats in the lower house of Parliament will be expanded. In 2005, the various Brexit policies pursued by the government were more authoritative.

According to British law, after the dissolution of Parliament, all seats in the lower house of Parliament are automatically vacant, and the legal status of all members of Parliament is returned to the general public, losing all privileges of members. Members of the House of Lords remain unchanged because they are appointed rather than elected, but all work pending the completion of the new Parliament is tentative.

Britain is a constitutional monarchy, that is, Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state, and Theresa May is the head of government. In the history of Britain, there are three main forms of dissolution of Parliament, but either form must be dissolved in the name of the King with the consent of the King. First: after the end of the five-year term of a parliament, the king announces the dissolution and then re-elections. The second type: long-term dissolution, not immediately after the dissolution of the re-election. For example, in 1629, Charles I dissolved Parliament until he ruled the country alone for 11 years in 1640. The third type: early dissolution. The prime minister does not have access to the House of Commons. Even if the term of office of Parliament is not over, the British King can be asked to dissolve Parliament and re-elect. This is the case with the dissolution of Parliament in Britain.
