In many parliamentary systems, two common entities can introduce a bill or draft law into parliament:
-
Members of Parliament (MPs): Individual legislators who serve in the parliament can propose bills. This typically includes both members of the ruling party and those from opposition parties.
-
Government Ministers: Members of the cabinet or government ministers, often responsible for specific areas of public policy, can also introduce bills. These are usually government-sponsored bills and often reflect the government's agenda.
The specific rules regarding who can introduce legislation can vary by country and parliamentary system.
