Hmmmm ? Think about it now......... but itself continued until Oliver Cromwell dissolved it. Yeah coz as der new "king" fing, dat wuz 'iz job innit Cromwell's experimental Parliaments were dissolved shortly after they were called. After the restoration the remains of the Long Parliament were resummoned as the only legitimate Parliament, and then consented to their dissolution - but this was followed by an immediate election. So which was this Parliament which voted itself out of existence? You're the smart arse, you tell us ... OK, I'll tell you: you got it wrong. Are You Sure Bettie ? Are you sure that Bettie Pedant "Smartie-pants" Boothroyd didn't perhaps get it wrong, maybe, perchance, mayhaps ? I thought you "Knew about these things" Bettie? "The Act of Union of English and Scottish parliaments was proclaimed on May 1 1707, in which Scotland was formally united with England to form Great Britain. In doing so, the Scottish Parliament voted itself out of existence" "As every student of modern Irish history knows, the treaty that set up the Irish Free State was narrowly passed by the 32-county Dail that considered itself the government of the Republic of Ireland. By passing this treaty, the Dail in essence voted itself out of existence to be replaced by a newly-formed 26-county Dail. The IRA split over the treaty with the supporters becoming the Free State army and the remainder of the IRA going on to fight their former comrades and lose in the Irish Civil War." "far sighted Protestants began to consider that their ascendancy could only be maintained in a United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The rebellion of the United Irishmen in 1798 convinced the government of the need for change. When its first Bill of Union was rejected by the Irish house of commons, the government embarked on a cynical programme of bribery, buying votes with offers of titles, government posts and compensation. In 1800, dressed in Volunteer uniform, an ailing Grattan begged the commons not to agree to the Union. For once his oratory was in vain, and parliament voted itself out of existence." 320 Other results here http://tinyurl.com/282fg THERE ! Ner nee Ner ! |

No, you stupid troll, because the Commons didn't abolish itself, and the King and the Lords didn't agree to their extinction. So which was this Parliament which voted itself out of existence?

Absolutely 100% certain. snip rubbish about the Irish Parliament in 1800 - which wasn't the 1640s and wasn't in Britain, and as you would know if you really knew history, the proprietors of the Irish boroughs were actually paid some £thousands each as compensation if they were disfranchised. -- http://www.election.demon.co.uk "Most of us Lib Dems stopped years ago being 'nice'" - David Larkman |

The Short Parliament was dissolved by Charles I in 1640. The Long Parliament SEE ! You *DO* know EXACTLY which parliament I mean, Well done Bettie, you're smarter than I thought In 1648/9 the House of Commons abolished one branch of Parliament by chopping its head off, and the other by a vote, Could that be construed as "Voting itself out of Existence" perhaps Bettie ? No, you stupid troll, because the Commons didn't abolish itself, Who is a stupid TROLL Bettie ? The question you put to me was : "which parliament voted itself out of existence?" was it not ? You have PROVEN with your spiel above above that you KNEW the answer and just wanted to be a little pedant about it didn't you? Now you craftily calumniate with "because the Commons didn't abolish itself" which was not the point as you well know, the point was that Parliaments ( as this one DID) vote themselves out of existence ! OK, the fact that after they voted themselves out of existence they still existed was purely because the Autocrat above them who refused to let them cease their existence was the only power that could end their existence, but you know that as well don't you Bettie, your admitting it however may bruise that sensitive little ego of yours though 'ey ! and the King and the Lords didn't agree to their extinction. So which was this Parliament which voted itself out of existence? You're the smart arse, you tell us ... OK, I'll tell you: you got it wrong. Are You Sure Bettie ? Absolutely 100% certain. Ooooops, you're digging that hole deeper Bettie, an ego that falls that deep may be sorely bruised, beware ! snip rubbish about the Irish Parliament in 1800 - which wasn't the 1640s and wasn't in Britain, Conveniently forgetting why you snipped the stuff on the Scottish (BRITISH) Parliament that *Voted itself out of existence* which if you recall WAS your question, oh and perhaps neglecting the fact that the Irish parliament in question, was at the time of it *Voted itself out of existence* part of "The United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland" Mwahahahahahahar *ROTFLMFAO* and as you would know if you really knew history, the proprietors of the Irish boroughs were actually paid some £thousands each as compensation if they were disfranchised. How very irrelevant to my original point that Parliaments DO vote themselves out of existence, but thanks for the smarmy little "lesson" So are you going to continue with your attempts to muddy the waters so that you can perhaps avoid the embarrassment of putting your hands up and stating "I, Bettie Boothroyd was WRONG!" ? |
