- Island of Rarotonga, Cook Islands, Pacific Ocean - the Parliament Building of the Cook Islands. Let's travel to the island of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands and let's visit the historic Parliament building in Avarua, in the capital of the Cook Islands (located in the island of Rarotonga) and let's learn a little bit about the form of the government of Cook Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Rarotonga is the most populous island of the Cook Islands, with a population of 10,572 out of the country's total resident population of 14,974.
The Parliament of the Cook Islands is the legislature of the Cook Islands. Originally established under New Zealand’s United Nations mandate it became the national legislature on independence in 1965. The Parliament consists of 24 members directly elected by universal suffrage from single-seat constituencies.

Another very interesting video tour you took us on..like one poster said this is an area where I for one would never be able to visit and I thank you for taking me along on this very informative tour!! Thanks Vic for showing us some unique places here on our Big Blue Marble. :)
+Grandpadew Thank you for your wonderful comments!!
It might seem as a small building with not a lot to see - however since this a rare video of the Parliament of the Cook Islands, a place to which the average European tourist would not visit, it's great to see you video recording this!
+Oliwier EB Yes, his ability to bring to his viewers things that the "average European tourist would not visit..." is what makes Stefanu a standout in historian/videographers. Interestingly, he gives equal stress to those very things "...average European tourists..."would visit! So his view is not slanted either way!
+Oliwier EB You are absolutely correct, you will not see videos of the inside of this building anywhere; it is the fact that I knew someone and who gave me special permission to videotape the Parliament house of such an exotic country... plus, it gave us the chance to learn something new, which is always worth the time and effort...
+Jay Young Thanks Jay, you are absolutely right!! Thank you!!
I like its simplicity and humbleness. I hope that these qualities will remain in the new building. May I suggest a circular seating arrangement in the new plenium chamber. It's the most conducive seating for encouraging cooperation and consensus.
Hello Aaron, thank you for your comments!! 👍👍👍
Very interesting video of the COOK ISLANDS, the Parliament building in the island of Rarotonga (Pacific Ocean). Although small in size, this video gives the viewer an insight of how large the government actually is, and how many members are actually elected to serve as elected officials in the Cook Islands.
It would have been nice to actually see the House of Parliament in action.
+Michael Friedman The Parliament, unfortunately, was not in session at the time of videotaping...
