Britain had two parliaments in the home island - Scotlands and Englands.

The only people who can possibly think the British empire was centralised are those who have never opened a history book about it.

Oh mate, I am feeling Fremdschämen / vicarious embarrassment for you very hard right now.

You obviously haven't opened a history book either, but at the very least, go to Wikipedia before making confident statements.

Subtle hint - 1707 to 1999.
