After Parliament had the king killed, and Cromwell began his rule, how did he then get rid of Parliament? Did the members of Parliament fight back? I know after his death the monarchy was put back with a Stuart king, but how did Cromwell manage to get rid of parliament during his reign? Asked by interestedinhistory - Sun Sep 30 14:21:38 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. He did eliminate the Rump parliament. He came in one day, blew his top and brought the soldiers in, clearing the hall. But, he did set up a new parliament in its place. The story about getting rid of the Rump Parliament is dramatically told by Simon Schama in his History of Britain series. "Moses coming down from the mountain, and he was not a happy prophet". One thing about this I've noticed, when Cromwell brought his soldiers into the chamber, they carried their weapons, yet four centuries before, Simon de Montfort's lads stopped and left their swords outside before meeting with Henry III and Edward.

Lega Nord have made it clear that while it shares the BNP's anti-immigration stance, it will not work with them as it is not a racist party, while the BNP is. Lega Nord sit with the "Europe of Freedom and Democracy" group, alongside UKIP. The two BNP members have not been accepted into any grouping, and sit alongside other racist groups, like Le Pen's National Front.
