 | | The parliament is bicameral, with an upper house, the House of Lords, and a lower house, the House of Commons. |
 | | However, it is a misquotation of John Bright, who had actually remarked on 18 January 1865 that "England is the Mother of Parliaments", in the context of supporting demands for expanded voting rights in a country that he considered had pioneered parliamentary government. |
 | | As of 2006, a number of MPs are attempting to revive the custom, who have signed a motion for the impeachment of the Prime Minister, but this is unlikely to succeed. |
