En el Parlamento británico la disciplina de partido está a cargo de un grupo de parlamentarios llamados whips, encabezados por el Chief Whip. Están encargados de informar al resto de miembros del partido de los asuntos del Parlamento, comunicar a los líderes las opiniones de los parlamentarios y asegurarse de que todos ellos asistan a la Cámara de los Comunes (House of Commons) y acudan a las votaciones importantes, lo que puede ser crucial cuando el gobierno no tiene mayoría absoluta. Tanto el gobierno como la oposición tienen sus propios whips y por lo general todos ellos ostentan también altos cargos en la Administración del Estado, si pertenecen al partido del gobierno.
