The British Parliament is often referred to as the "Mother of Parliaments" (although this sobriquet was first applied to England itself, and not to Westminster, by John Bright) because it has been a model for many other parliamentary systems.
Britanski parlament često se naziva "Majkom parlamenata" (premda je taj nadimak John Bright prvi puta primjenio za samu Englesku) jer je bio uzor za većinu ostalih parlamentarnih sustava, kao i osnivač mnogih drugih parlamenata.
