	Parliament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Parliament is often referred to as the "Mother of Parliaments," (in fact a misquotation of John Bright, who remarked in 1865 that "England is the Mother of Parliaments") because the British Parliament has been the model for most other parliamentary systems, and its Acts have created many other parliaments.
		In the United Kingdom, Parliament consists of the House of Commons, the House of Lords, and the Monarch.
		A nation's 'Prime Minister' is almost always the leader of the majority party in the lower house of parliament, but only holds his or her office as long as the "confidence of the house" is maintained.
