The mother of parliaments (expression) : ウィキペディア英語版 | The mother of parliaments (expression)
The mother of parliaments is an expression coined by the British politician and reformer John Bright in a speech at Birmingham on 18 January 1865. It was a reference to England. His actual words were: ''England is the mother of parliaments''. This was reported in ''The Times'' of the following day. 〔Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, revised 4th ed, 1996, p. 141〕 The expression is often misapplied to the Parliament of the United Kingdom because of the adoption of the Westminster Model of Parliamentary Democracy by many countries of the former Empire. ==References==
