    The House of Commons is one big Monty Python skit.

      David Arbelaez I'm not even from the UK. I'm just watching because this is goddamn hysterical/tragic. Can't believe the Brits managed to colonize half the world with this kind of attitude.

      ***** Fair enough. I just get the feeling people think the UK is weak and does whatever the US tells it to.

      ***** Well, Britain is still the 5th largest economy in the world. No small potatoes, that. Personally, I think it'd have been better if the British Empire was still what it was in the early 20th C. India, if it'd have been a colony even for another 2 or 3 generations, would have been far less corrupt and more prosperous. In fact, no less a figure than SirWSC said as much. India was making real progress, and it's why I think Ghandi was a destructive figure in history. Look at the bloodshed after the British left. Incidentally, I had a friend in high school whose family had a really poor opinion of Ghandi for that reason. It was interesting to talk to people directly who'd lived there. As to us Yanks, you have to admit that we had a point about being taxed but with no seats in Parliament. We were British, after all.

      ***** I'm a bit grating to some of my fellow Americans because I realize that we did have support in the Revolution. I'm a conservative, and so often get accused of being a revisionist and anti-American for saying that. I'm hardly either. As to British strength, when we wanted to expand north after the Revolution, we were stopped cold by the British and it's why the Canadian border is where it is today. We did many resourceful and courageous things, but we did have support. I just wish that Britain and the USA could have set aside the differences far sooner than we did, for I think it would have served us both better. We almost came to war as late as the 1890s, for our interests conflicted in South America.
      I think Britain has been a great friend to America, and if it hadn't been for you who knows if we'd have been able to win WW2. Britain also paid back all those lend lease debts, even though Britain could have gotten a pass on that. To boot, Britain paid them back ahead of schedule. Also, Britain is the only other country aside from the USA who has met NATO funding agreements.
      I have this theory that Ghandi is viewed by so many in America as a positive figure for the same reason that one can't get anything like accurate news on the major networks. Anything that serves the leftist cause, and anti-Westernism does just that, is what you'll find in the news and in Hollywood movies.
      What do you think of your election just last week?

      It's a technicality of the rules. You can infer that an MP is mistaken on a point, or even hiding details, but you can't call their honesty or honour into question. That's why MPs always have to address each other as "the honourable member", and why we have terms like "economical with the truth". You can't say another MP is lying in parliament, so they have to use more roundabout ways of saying it. You also can't directly insult another MP. You can insult their opinion, but not the MP.

      Edward Yorke Compared to a room of complete silence (like other governments), this is good. You get a pretty good idea of what politician feels about what subject. You get prime minister who has to explain himself under pressure and scrutiny. It's engaging, lively. intense and refreshing to see. It's also quite moving to hear a room full of mutterings of agreement when an MP pays a tribute to a soldier or other who has died.
      P.S. The speaker is there when they act too much like twats.
      PPS. The HoC has always been like this. There are other places where they quietly discuss things, like comitee meetings and Westminster Hall.
      PPS. As this is a video of the funnier bits from PMQ's when the house is full, it might give off an impression that the place is *always* like that, but it's a lot calmer most times.

      I mean, he doesn't face this. No American President, including Trump, is ever called to account for his actions to his face like this, while the other party jeers and mocks him. Moreover, Trump (and all Presidents) all have prepared speeches. Trump would be asked, in my state in my town, unemployment went up 12%, how are you going to fix this? And then he would have to respond with data and numbers right then and there. He can't just say, oh, that's Obama's fault. No, he'd *have* to say what he's going to do about it, practically.
      Trump? Trump would storm off after the third question. He can barely handle the press, let alone the entire opposition party mocking him to his face. In fact, Trump would probably be one of the worst for this. Like him or not, you gotta admit he doesn't handle criticism serenely.. How do you think he reacts when 40 people are laughing at him, mocking him, talking over him?
      Fuck, I'd pay to see that.
