1689 following the glorious revolution on a full time permanent basis but then there have been many temporary periods before where MP’s have taken power and made laws, Cromwell and De Montfort being the obvious examples. |  |

Most journalists these days aren’t worth the name. Petty activists most of them and if you took away Twitter and the internet they wouldn’t have the slightest clue what to write about. | |

De Montfort also expanded the kinds of people involved in Parliament.
Now that you mentioned Crowmwell, we could do with him back to make "that" speech again! |  | | |

De Montfort and Cromwell are often portrayed very favourably by history as great parliamentarians who worked and fought selflessly to uphold and improve the rights of Parliament. But in truth they were both bloodthirsty murderers who from the very second they became de facto leaders of England suddenly found Parliament an inconvenient and annoying barrier to their ruthless ambitions. In short they became the tyrannical kings they originally set out to oppose. De Montfort’s parliamentary reforms were more designed to shore up his own power, as was Cromwell’s.
I posted the other day on another thread about how real change only ever comes about when those in charge feel their comfortable position in power genuinely threatened. Parliament (or more accurately government) has taken the place of the old tyrannical kings in that they feel they can act with impunity putting petty financial gain and the standing of their own parties over the needs of the nation. | |
