When they were made yes, certainly

But it's so outdated now

So in essence that was what our senate and house were

That makes sense

Senate were the lords (state representation)

House of reps the house of commons(?)

To think, if we'd just given you guys a devolved parliament we'd have avoided the messes we're both in

Commons is a joke too

Ehhhhh

We had our independence streak right from the get go

I know - I was being facetious haha

Yea it would have happened anyways

Maximize Liberty
Minimize Authority
Decentralize Everything

Taxes were such a small part of it

Americans were more against the soldier lodging and other repressions. Tea tax was a minor part

Ironically right after the revolutioj tea was the only thing taxed

Rum taxes were a bigger issue, IIRC

But commons, commons is bollocks. The Members of Parliament are elected to represent their constituency, but instead are forced to follow party lines by the Whips or get nowhere in politics

There's no room for free thought or democracy

@Fitzydog rum wasnt as big an import

Don't forget the Whiskey Rebellion

Also, after you guys decided to make tea by putting the water in first we couldn't forgive you

There are rumours you microwave water for tea

Whiskey rebellion was 1791

I don't, that's just heretical

Yea i dont either

But I do use common teabags like a pleb

But also tea kettles arnt common here

I drink coffee like a Chad

Even the electric ones

@Agamemnon's Death Mask that's why the monarch needs to flex their authority <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Teabags were invented accidentally

Tea bags were invented to piss off the brits

They were initially portion sized tea leaves

So like the word "Aluminum"?

Just don't

loooooool

It's worse because aluminum is technically more correct

Because that word changed 3 times

After the second americans said fuck it

Yup. You got aluminum right but colour has a u dammit

Cull-oo-er?
