I'm sure you *Know* which parliament I mean, if you can't be

arsed
to swot up on the date why should I ?

There was no such Parliament. 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!" ?
