{{Further|Parliamentary sovereignty}}
A few parliamentary democracies such as the [[United Kingdom]] and [[New Zealand]] have weak or non-existent checks on the legislative power of their Parliaments,<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 October 2022 |title=UK Parliament glossary |url=https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/glossary/parliamentary-sovereignty/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220928161907/https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/glossary/parliamentary-sovereignty/ |archive-date=28 September 2022 |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=UK Parliament}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=20 January 2016 |title=Our system of government |url=https://www.parliament.nz/en/visit-and-learn/how-parliament-works/our-system-of-government/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221017113130/https://www.parliament.nz/en/visit-and-learn/how-parliament-works/our-system-of-government/ |archive-date=17 October 2022 |access-date=27 October 2022 |publisher=New Zealand Parliament}}</ref> where any newly approved Act shall take precedence over all prior Acts. All laws are equally unentrenched, wherein [[judicial review]] may not outright annul nor amend them, as frequently occurs in other parliamentary systems like [[Constitutional review in Germany|Germany]]. Whilst the head of state for both nations ([[Monarchy of the United Kingdom|Monarch]], and or [[Governor-General of New Zealand|Governor General]]) has the de jure power to withhold [[Royal assent|assent]] to any bill passed by their Parliament, this check has not been exercised in Britain since the [[Scottish Militia Bill|1708 Scottish Militia Bill]].

Whilst both the UK and New Zealand have some Acts or parliamentary rules establishing [[Supermajority|supermajorities]] or additional legislative procedures for certain legislation, such as previously with the [[Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011]] (FTPA), these can be bypassed through the enactment of another that amends or ignores these supermajorities away, such as with the [[Early Parliamentary General Election Act 2019]] – bypassing the 2/3rd supermajority required for an early dissolution under the FTPA<ref>{{Cite web |date=26 November 2021 |title=Fixed-term Parliament Act 2011 |url=https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn06111/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221021190612/https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn06111/ |archive-date=21 October 2022 |access-date=27 October 2022 |website=UK Parliament}}</ref> -, which enabled the early dissolution for the [[2019 United Kingdom general election|2019 general election]].
