How many times has parliament dissolved UK?

The UK Parliament has been dissolved numerous times throughout its history, with the exact number varying depending on how one counts dissolutions, including those resulting from general elections and other circumstances. Since the Parliament Acts of 1911 and 1949, the House of Commons can be dissolved by the Prime Minister, but prior to that, dissolutions were usually at the monarch's discretion. In modern practice, Parliament is typically dissolved before a general election, with the last general election leading to a dissolution occurring in December 2019.
