Have you ever watched Prime Minister's Questions? Every Wednesday at 12:00 on BBC2, all the nation's MPs gather together to go "rrrrreeeeeeeerrrrr". Why? Is this a good thing? Let's watch a video all about it.
P.S. This video might have gone out of date by the time you're watching it, cos there'll've been an election shortly after.
Wow. There's a tense I don't often get to use. There'll've.

Condescending and passive-aggressive basically describes all of English culture and they're very proud of it
That's the point
Indeed, That is the point. As not to be directly aggressive.
He's the most stereotypical idea of a Londoner that I've seen yet.
Mr Speaker does the Prime Minister agree that despite warnings from professionals in every single field they've touched, they have done the complete opposite for the express purpose of pleasing lobbyists?

Why you gotta call me out like that
In New Zealand, the government gets a list before the session of all the primary questions that will be asked and the minister they will be addressed to along with all the related supplementary questions that might be asked (the opposition parties only get to ask a limited number of supplementaries but get to prepare more than that), so it's somewhat of game where the shadow ministers begin with a vague question and have supplementaries that go all over the place while the government ministers try to anticipate what supplementaries will actually get asked so they can best prepare for them.
The usual trick is to have the primary question be along the lines of "Does the Minister stand by their statements regarding X?" and then have a broad list of supplementaries that interrogate everything surrounding those statements. Usually, the government ministers just prepare more for the questions that think are more likely to be asked (the more embarrassing things), and less for the ones they think unlikely, though this can lead them to get caught out a bit if they guess wrong. Some politicians don't worry too much about what questions will be asked and just wing it, which is more impressive than a scripted answer but is usually a bit more jittery in its delivery.
However, if the government minister can figure out what line of attack they're going to make, they can attempt to prepare an answer that pre-empts all the supplementaries that the shadow minister plans to ask, which makes the shadow minister look stupid because they either have to give up asking their supplementaries, pivot erratically into another line of attack, or keep asking the intended questions and get berated by the minster with "as I've already said in my previous answer". Our PM Jacinda Ardern, who has a coms degree, is actually very good at sussing out the questions coming her way and pre-empting them all, and after stating that she's already answered the question she turns her answer into a self-promotion or an attack against the Opposition. Judith Collins must be getting seriously sick of hearing "well like I said just before," or quips along the lines of "Had the Member actually listened to my previous answer, she'd know that... but I suppose we already knew from the Member's time in government that she isn't very good at listening to other people."
lol.
🇳🇿 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Also worth noting that NZ MPs have a bit more freedom in how to express themselves. They are allowed to use each other's names, as long as it's done respectfully, and when they hear something they like, they're allowed to clap like a normal person. I believe in the last couple of years they have also been trialing some relaxation on the use of second person pronouns.
Same in the UK for departmental questions
Shadow ministers sounds like a souls game enemy

I try to imagine how a US President would do if he/she were confronted directly with questions from Congress and had to make some kind of (even remotely) coherent responses directly (more or less) to their faces in real time. My mind is boggled.
They’d do just fine, American Presidents are typically great public speakers. In fact a Presidential democracy which relies on the head of state’s charisma and electioneering would be way more selective for that compared to Parliamentary systems. Although Trump was a very different kind of speaker and Biden is past his prime.
There’s a speech that Obama did to a Republican convention where basically all the questions were hostile and confrontational, and he did very well.
I'd say Trump or Obama would have handled it just like they handled the rest of their presidencies. For example Trump would have handled it like he handled a hostile media when he wasn't shutting them out. I couldn't listen to Trump myself but I'd say off the cuff speaking in a way that made him popular with his base was one of his best skills.
If Biden had to answer questions from opposing politicians it would answer a lot of the questions the republicans like asking.
apart from Biden and post assassination attempt Reagan they probably would have all done well
most likely all participants would just treat this as another type of campaigning for their positions
Americans love "roasting", and Obama for one was a master at it, so I doubt it'd be much of a problem. Although maybe Donnie would have been shown up to be the complete cretin he is sooner.

Meh. British parliament seems positively sane and polite compared to the Australian equivalent.
There are some legendarily weird exchanges during parliament question time...
Though I guess they cracked down a bit on it in recent years.
And none of the newer politicians can quite match the absurd insults Paul Keating used to throw around...

Been wondering about that zombie noice they make during the parliament sessions in Britain. Fascinating. In Finland they are just shouting remarks, exclamations or praises at speakers. It's quite funny until you realise the country's politics has been reduced to Twitter-level civility.
In India, just watch a debate on republic TV, multiply that by 1000, throw in some hitting, and you've got yourself the Indian Parliament.
Apparently Twitter politics is a worlwide phenomenon, Brazil is suffering from the same disease lol

2:38 I briefly searched on more information about this rather entertaining question, and found that: One, this was a question during the Prime Minister's very first PMQ. Two, the question involved something very important to "national security", but was packed into a white-flash at 2:42. Three, the Prime Minister's answer involved a statement of gratitude to the opposition in addition to her own allies (Rather more complicated than just this, but explaining it further would spoil the moment).
The reason of that man "sleeps at night" can be more agreeable than Jay suggests, although it might still fall short of what the populace would expect.
What's the point in shouting out 'earr 'earrrr... if it'd equally drown out the sound of sensible debate as clapping would.
As clapping is an 'un-parliamentary etiquette', the MPs in Indian Parliament thump the table in front of them to commend something; ironically, a practice initiated by the British themselves.
Khushwant Singh Scotland's Parliament does that as well.
At universities here in Germany we rap our knuckles on the table rather than clap. I've no idea how international that is.
Khushwant Singh yeah, but we get to make really dumb sounds
in parliament
in *the* parliament
Our Canadian parliament claps and it takes up a tonne more time than saying hear hear. In Canada every party gives standing ovation to everything, it is annoying, hear hear is much better.
Banging the table used to be a thing to do in the U.S. Senate, but it's been replaced by simple applause, to my knowledge.
I honestly felt crazy for thinking I was the only one who found the whole heckling and jeering thing so strange and utterly childish. I remember first learning they do that and thinking "what???"

Tina Stormcaller I noticed that too. But I didn't get the reference. What is it exactly? 😅
Aashish Nayak it was something that used to be on TV in the 80s and 90s that signalled when the ads were going to start. I think either regional TV timed their regional ads with it, or certain VHS recorders could not record ads with it, or something like that. I think it contained some kind of data like a barcode.
Oh that's interesting. Thanks!
It is a cue mark, it's used to signal that a transmission/film roll is about to end.

I was absolutely horrified the first time I watched pmq's. I was may be 11 years old at the time and was just shocked that the people who are supposedly running this country were allowed to act in a way that would get me detention if I acted that way in class.
I would love to see this scrapped and have actually respectful behaviour be on display in the heart of our politics.
I'd also like for the country to be run by compassionate humans who actually have the whole country's greatest good in mind, but that's probably too much to hope for.

I think i know less after listening to them myself. It needs to be replaced with mature debate instead of spectacle, it is a farce, it is meant to be the time where we hold our PM to account but it ends up looking more like a drama.

Actually, during Brexit debate, the German news channel Phoenix had live broadcast from the British parliament. It was, well, "different". But who are we, isolated on our continent, to judge British democracy?
The PM does know the questions beforehand, and the answers are researched and supplied by lowly admin staff in the relevant departments by a strict deadline ahead of the session.
The pm does know the questions and her answers are pre rehearsed.

Is that "where d'you get your food from, grandma" playing in the background at 1:53?
Hi, Jay.
Let me politely disagree with some points.
I think the PM questions session is one of the best things in British politics. Just take a look at full presidential countries such as the US or Brazil (my country). If the president decides that he or she is not gonna be accountable for whatever decisions they make, so it is. Trump and Bolsonaro are perfect examples of that. Very few interviews or questions from either politicians or reporters, so basically they sign a very controversial executive order and not even get questioned or have to defend it in public. And the oppositions does not have means to question it too.
Great channel, by the way.
It's better in principle, but when the pm's responses to questions can be boiled down to "ask yer nan you twat" it isn't much different.
But is there actual accountability or is it just to torture them and thereby motivate them which only works if they feel shame which doesn't appear to be the case? I'm in favour either way, but it seems like the latter.
Mr Speaker, the Prime Minister mentioned that.....
- I refer to the Rt Honourable Gentleman's very recent statement. I therefore request that...
Yes, British Parliament clearly lays out the way of doing things. Cheers for sharing.
