I like your gratuitous use of quotes here. JFTR, they, too, have a bicameral parliament, comprising of a National Assembly and a Senate. (Not surprising, really, considering that they practically invented the whole system.)

No, it doesn't. And if you seriously fail to see the difference, fail to grasp the very nature of copyright all further discussion will be pointless.
