Note
A regular plural that counts whatever kind of parliament is meant: rival national legislatures, the numbered sittings of one legislature (its first and twelfth parliaments), or several gatherings of rooks and owls. The capitalized Parliament names one specific body, particularly that of England or the United Kingdom, so the plural belongs to the lowercase common noun.
