Septennial Act 1716 Septennial Act 1716 The Septennial Act 1716 (1 Geo 1 St 2 c 38), also known as the Septennial Act 1715, was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain. It was passed in May 1716. It increased the maximum length of a parliament (and hence the maximum period between general elections) from three years to seven. This seven-year ceiling remained in law from 1716 until 1911. The previous limit of three years had been set by the Triennial Act 1694, enacted by the Parliament of England. The act's ostensible aim was to reduce the expense caused by frequent elections.
This Is How It Feels oblique (and hence radio-friendly) lyrics (e.g. the line "seems they found him under a train" replaced by "left a note for a local girl"). The song was later covered by Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine on their "1992 – The Love Album", appearing on Disc 2 of the Deluxe edition, and the compilation album "You Fat Bastard". This Is How It Feels "This Is How It Feels" was a 1990 single by the Inspiral Carpets written by Clint Boon. It was their first single to enter the UK Top 40, where it peaked at #14. The single peaked at #149
