Â Devolved English parliament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The English Parliament was dissolved (and the Parliament of Scotland with it) by Treaty of Union in 1707, and replaced with the Parliament of Great Britain.
The first English Parliament arose during the thirteenth century, comprising members of the nobility and clergy, and representatives from shires and boroughs.
A devolved English Parliament, giving separate decision-making powers to representatives for voters in England similar to the representation given by the Welsh Assembly, Scottish Parliament and the Northern Ireland Assembly, is currently an issue in British politics.

Â English Civil War - Metaweb

The English Parliament, having controverted the king's authority, raised an army led by Robert Devereux, 3rd Earl of Essex.
In the Glorious Revolution of 1688, Parliament deposed the Roman Catholic King James II and his infant heir and gave the throne to his protestant daughter and her husband, William of Orange.
Thanks to former Member of Parliament Admiral Robert Blake blockading Prince Rupert of the Rhine 's fleet in Kinsale, Oliver Cromwell was able to land at Dublin on August 15, 1649 with the army to quell Royalist forces in Ireland, and later in Scotland (1649 -1650) to finally restore an uneasy peace.

It is perhaps first identifiable as a parliament in 1235, described as a Â‘colloquiumÂ’ and already with a political and judicial role.
ParliamentÂ’s strength was such that the Crown turned to corruption and political management to undermine its autonomy.
Between 1235 and 1286 little can be told with certainty about parliament's function, but it appears to have had a judicial and political role which was well established by the end of the century.

The Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly use English taxes to pay for life saving drugs for their own country whilst the British government, ruled by the Scottish Raj, deny English people life saving treatment because there is no money left once our "partners" have taken what they want.

Â ENGLISH PARLIAMENT

Suppose that English majorities committed to an English parliament were elected to Westminster, yet were never able to form a government because an English minority allied to the Celts formed a Commons majority.
Thus once an English parliament was in being, it would in practice have a great deal of power regardless of the initial theoretical limits of its authority.
The process of English political regionalisation has already begun with the proposed mayor and assembly for London due to be up and running in the year 2000.

Supporters of an English parliament should oppose Brownâ€™s succession and send out a clear message to the Labour Party that under the current constitutional arrangement a Scottish Prime Minister is an untenable proposition.

Labour are also hoping to use the powers to by-pass parliament and introduce the recommendations of the Law Commission, which is currently recommending that couples who have lived together have the same rights as married couples when they separate [lots of extra legally aided separations, no doubt].
There may be English NHS and care home patients [whose homes may have been seized and sold by the local council] suffering from malnutrition, or cancer drugs being denied to English patients, but all of this is water of a duckâ€™s back to Labour.
But it actually enables ministers to amend any Act of Parliament â€˜by orderâ€™ without the need for a change in the law to be approved by parliament.

Â News From Africa - English version - Parliament and Bomas fight over review

Early this month, a meeting chaired by speaker Francis ole Kaparo and attended by 147 MPs appointed a 10-man team to amend the Constitution of Kenya Review Act, in what was seen as an attempt by parliament to take over the constitution review process.
As it stands, the Act empowers parliament to either accept the Draft as it is or reject it in toto.
Under the Act, parliament has no power to amend the Draft, which is to be handed over to Attorney General Amos Wako upon the conclusion of review talks at Bomas.

Western Australia has had two referenda for secession, both of which were passed, but due to the constitutional position of the time, the referenda had to be ratified by the British Parliament and authorized by the Queen of Australia who is also Queen of the United Kingdom.

Frank Field and Kate Hoey put forward the idea of an England-only Parliament yesterday, saying MPs should be allowed to hold specialist committees "thereby making government offices, quangos and other bodies to which the government has devolved power accountable to the Commons".
As the result of the referendum begins to sink in, two Labour former ministers called on the Government to back plans for regional committees where MPs would have the power to hold public bodies and civil servants to account - as well as grill North businesses over their role in the area.
Select committees already exist to oversee the work of Government departments, such as transport, environment and foreign affairs, many producing critical reports on the spending of taxpayers' money.

In 1494, the Parliament encouraged the passing of Poyning's Law which subordinated the Irish Parliament to the English one, so that the Irish Parliament could not be bullied by the powerful landed families in Ireland like the Earl of Kildare into passing laws that pursued the agendas of the different dynastic factions in the country.
The Irish Parliament was originially founded in the 13th century to represent the English community in the Lordship of Ireland.
After the Irish Rebellion of 1641, Irish Catholics were barred from voting or attending the Parliament altogether in the Cromwellian Act of Settlement 1652.

Â English Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Before the War, Parliament was not a permanent feature of English government, but acted as a temporary advisory committeeâ€”summoned by the monarch whenever the monarch required additional tax revenue, and subject to dissolution at the monarch's will.
The term English Civil War (or Wars) refers to the series of armed conflicts and political machinations which took place between Parliamentarians and Royalists from 1642 until 1651.
The wars led to the trial and execution of Charles I, the exile of his son Charles II, and the replacement of the English monarchy with the Commonwealth of England (1649â€“1653) and then with a Protectorate (1653â€“1659) under the personal rule of Oliver Cromwell.

The Parliament of Canada was granted limited power to amend the constitution by a British Act of Parliament in 1949, but it was not permitted to affect the powers of provincial governments, the official positions of the English and French languages, or the five-year term of Parliament.
The House of Commons, not the Senate, is the responsible House of Parliament, meaning that the Government is answerable to it alone.
The new Canadian Parliament consisted of the Queen (represented by the Governor General), the Senate and the House of Commons.

By virtue of Poyning's Law, a celebrated statute of King Henry VII of England, all proposed Irish legislation had to be submitted to the privy council for its approval under the great seal of England before being passed by the Irish parliament.
The lord lieutenant and his chief secretary continued to be appointed by the English ministers; their tenure of office depended on the vicissitudes of English, not Irish, party politics; the royal prerogative was exercised in Ireland on the advice of English ministers.
On January 15, 1800 the Irish parliament met for its last session; on the same day Grattan secured by purchase a seat for Wicklow; and at a late hour, while the debate was proceeding, he appeared to take his seat, and was cheered from the galleries.
