The Inatsisartut (, ; ), also known as the Parliament of Greenland in English, is the unicameral parliament (legislative branch) of Greenland, an autonomous territory in the Danish Realm. Established in 1979, the parliament convenes in the Inatsisartut building, located on an islet in Nuuk Centrum in central Nuuk.
The Inatsisartut is composed of 31 members, who are elected for four-year terms through proportional representation. Its functions include electing its presidium, debating and passing legislation, scrutinizing the government, and discussing financial matters. The Prime Minister is elected by the Inatsisartut, and appoints the members of the Naalakkersuisut (Government) with parliamentary approval. The parliament has the authority to remove the cabinet or an individual minister through a vote of no confidence. The Prime Minister holds the prerogative to call for an early election, dissolving the parliament.
