The biggest difference between the UK and other constitutional countries is that parliament power is pretty much absolute and it is not bound by any document or pre-existing law.

In theory at least. In practice the courts have hinted that there are limits even for the parliament, and if it were to overstep some unwritten rules, it would cause a constitutional crisis.
