A clarification of terms

While writing a quick post about the recent European Parliamentary elections, it occurred to me that there was a possibility for confusion to arise in some old posts as to whether I was referring to the United Kingdom Parliament, or to the European Parliament.

Therefore, for future posts I shall adopt the following convention:

• United Kingdom Parliament  = “parliament”
• European Parliament = “Parliament”

This also clearly summarises the relative power of the two assemblies, and cuts down on the typing.
