    Yes. As far as making laws they can. That is the whole meaning or the phrase parliament is sovereign.

    It’s not a good thing. But is why voting and education is so important. Because when it comes to actions in parliament only voting has any authority.

    It’s not unique. As we see in the US. Where both houses have to act on many things. And when one party is given power their is little the nation can do to stop it.

    But honestly there is not real answer. Any organisation given the authority to arrest parliament is under the same risk of abuse. As we see with the US FBI. All it means is the corrupt political org. Takes control of that first.

    In the US and UK. It is why the right has taken control of the media over the last few decades.

    This is also why both main parties have worked so hard to remove the right to protest. The mass is the only control we have.
