@SwordInAir Do you think that if a Prime Minister can't stand his ground against the sneering and jeering of the opposition, he is fit to lead the country?
If you ask me, it's rather a good indicator of their ability to act calmly and effectively under pressure and strain.
Prosecute Tony Blair. He is a war criminal. Iraq, Afghanistan and many more other counties. He sells mass destruction weapons and forbidden rockets to israel. How can he be involved in the quartet of the middle east peace process for Palestine the holy land. The Hague should jail him immediately .
@warnation101 An Unelected Person that Ripped the UK OFF with Green taxes,Council tax Hikes never seen before,Stealth tax was his Best.And Record borrowing to pay for MORE PUBLIC SECTOR WORKERS! Making the Jobless figure look good.Blair/Brown sent this Country down the path.Where is Blair Now?? In his own little Nest Egg paid by US!!!!!And Brown gone and seen very little..Unless talking about Money HE Made but but not for the UK.Both should be Tried for Treason,Thatcher said NO! Labour said YES!
BOOOORRRREED....his necks jangles like a turkey dinner they argue like husband and wife does anything get done other than this earthly excercise ....RESULTS better than average too dificult? can you seriously be so polarized that you screw the people you want to serve
Are the debates always like this? In Denmark there's a leader and the politicians say something one at a time. DAMN BORING! This is much more fun to watch!
While it is true that one evaded a question, it's also true that he raised a very good issue, which is fiscal irresponsibility. Fiscally it is irresponsible, for example, that the US Government bails out the same companies every few years, and holds no one accountable for these economic crises. So of course the economy bleeds, and more foolhardy individuals say "let's give taxcuts to the rich to make up for this."
Why is it that your focus is on the election question, and not the £1b?
Everyone should read "Gordon is a moron" by Vernon Coleman and pass it on to their descendants so they know about the fucking useless , incompetent cunt who destroyed this country.
@johndoe77774444 Yes, as mentioned this is the Parliament of the UK.
However, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales also have their own devolved Governments. It's a bit bizarre really, as it means that although they can vote directly in English/UK matters, the English can't vote on theirs (other than via the UK parliament).
From our (English) side, it serves to promote the idea that the union and all its resources are stronger with us all in it rather than independent.
I want to say, from Tony Blair, David Cameron, Betty Boothroyd, and Dennis Skinner's speeches on whether there are Tories in the Palace...
as an American, I watch the House of Commons on C-SPAN every Wednesday, and I see a group of some of the most dignified and passionate legislators on the face of the Earth.
You bring class and composure when there is none, you identify the problems without fear, with respect, and a class that will stand the test of time. Well done! :-)
@mianbentley "You bring class and composure when there is none, you identify the problems without fear, with respect, and a class that will stand the test of time."
I seriously can't tell whether or not that's a joke.
Here's my perspective. The U.S. Congress has so many officials with controversial policies that go ignored because other lawmakers refuse to censure something they might get caught doing themselves. Parliament is different. They will deliberately (and sometimes maliciously) chew up their opponents and leave them to dry, over very tough issues.
Its Government. If you aren't going to stand and fight for your party, you don't belong in the practice of it.
@mianbentley How is the prime minister (well, he wasn't the PM in this video, but he is now) almost never answering a question 'classy'? Or constant shouting and jeering 'composed'? It isn't classy in the least, lol
@GiantSandles If they didn't verbally beat the hell out of eachother, all that brain power in one room would start smelling like burnt batteries. U.S. Congress is useless at the moment because they don't argue. They crowd in a room, argue over parsimonious issues...and support ignorance of the electorate.
If there's a huge issue facing Parliament (like the wiretapping scandal), heads will roll on either side. Cameron got hit, Brown got hit...
@p220394 i love this style of debate bing an american..its really cool in my opinion because i would love for the american crooks we call politicians to get questioned and what not HOWEVER the way they act childish while ppl are talking is NOT COOL. i mean i love the brits but the parliament are supposed to representatives for their country. they make their country look childish when they do that
Brown was the worst PM ever. Allowed uncontrolled mass immigration, created record debt and unemployment and spent our money like a drunken sailor. Good riddance to this "fucking disaster".
@Bellalodicci9 So Brown fucked up immigration and unemployment? I say give it a few more years under the Tories then we'll see the "fucking disaster" you describe.
Labour / Tories - they both work for the same boss!
Ever considered the world would be a better place without money? We’re conditioned to believe that everything would come to a halt if we got rid of it. But it wouldn’t, we evolved without it, we couldn’t have survived if money was essential. We evolved in communities and we are a societal being. Just watch them arguing in Parliament, they all want the same thing, they only argue over money. Research and free yourself. Google; Zeitgeist Moving Forward 2011 and The Venus Project.
Gordon Brown says such good things and people boo him. Let's see David Cameron tear this country to ruins. Soon 1% of the people will have 99% of the total wealth.
"Britons, understandably, feel that if they had to choose between the punchy near-anarchy of their own debates and the dull high-mindedness of the ones in the US Congess - with it's legislators who think so well of themselves and who tend to drone on far too much about patriotism and the American people - they would choose their own system every time."
~ Sarah Lyall, New York Times London reporter, 'A Field Guide to the British'.
@crossa96 This is the way we do things. This is the way we have always done things.
The US Congress is fucking boring. But in the House of Commons, the two parties face each other across a gap the length of two swords. This dates from an age old era when people carried swords -- they couldn't physically harm each other. Traditionally, if you crossed the line, you were challenging an opposing member to a duel.
Just another example of our rich history continued even today. Britain rules.
If only the American House of Representatives or Senate was as exciting as this.... they just sit down and talk things over and eventually you get the occasional person who stands up and asks to go against someone's claim... maybe that's why we're still struggling with the Economy, haha
I think it would be awesome if there were 2 really buff guys on each side, with no shirts, staring each other off, saying "I will destroy you!!" using signs.
@Neighb0urhoodWatch Is it some sort of tradition then? It almost looks as if they wanted to make a point of it. "Look, I'm touching the box, see everyone?" Or is it just a quirk these two guys have in common?
@Timrath Every time a politician stands at a podium, they will be dominating the shit out of that podium. Its about body language. Its shows power and confidence. Also, its something to lean on.
You have to admit, despite the chaos, no parliament can measure up to the British in terms of uniqueness, morale and enjoying life whilst slapping ancient regulation, chamber traditions into what would otherwise be an incredibly dull throwback between the two equally dull sides.
LOL i bet british question time is far more interesting then the italian question time. from this short vid it seems like they have quite a lot of fun :D
When it was built in the 1800s, there weren't as many MPs; however over the years the number of MPs has increased. It's great to have a small chamber it creates atmosphere and you you don't need as many microphones.
I've never seen the Australian Parliament have debates like these, the British parliament is intense, our parliament is extremely boring, everyone is very polite and the Speaker is overly-sensitive compared to your lot
Being from Sweden, I find both the extremely small parliament room and the debating style very chaotic and disordered. Everyone's screaming at each other all the time and it seems like they barely fit in the room - amusing but I still prefer the swedish way, even though our debates could be a little more lively.
being from the USA I find this kind of strange in a way, saw this type of situation in the movie "the madness of king George" but didn't think this primitive way was still exercised. find it amusing i suppose:)
@MrDryose Just because their politicians get to debate freely and have to face more pressure doesn't mean it's primitive. I wish congress was structured like this.
dang let brown speak. this shit is funny as hell but after a while let the man speak! they got the entire opposition shoutin and yellin at the same time geez!
Noticed to 2 red lines ? are as much apart as two sword lenghts. Standing on the lines you could taunt your counterpart, but you cannot reach him physically. Ancient regularies. ;)
If you have any doubt how much of a "fucking disaster" the "One-eyed Scottish Idiot" was then google "Tullett Prebon Thinking the Unthinkable". It is 34 page report that describes a litany of failure that characterized his time as Chancellor and PM. Brown just about fucked up everything he got his hands on .This shameless,reckless,mentally unstable, desperate moron has done severe damage to this country that will not be undone for decades if ever.
The British parliament controls England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Scottish Parliament has the majority of civil governance over Scotland, but the British parliament holds total control. Brown, like any British citizen, has the right to be elected as an M.P. of the United Kingdom.
This is great! I think i found my "dream job". Either i sit in the opposition and shout at the prime minister the whole day or I relax in a comfortable seat and just stand up at times, just saying "Order".. :D
I would really want to see this happen in the U.S. but unfortunately their isn't, if they had been doing this today, i believe the entire government in the U.S would be at each others necks. hahah
@donotserorator ha, in my opinon not at all. The tension wouldnt be as scary as it is now if we did have a parlimential government, but in the worst case the american politics are just filled up with old bags and old theiving men and women waiting to pounce on the next victim, which is the working class.
It's really funny. In Holland the politicians only looking on twitter, playing on his iPad, iPhone & blackberry and reading magazines and news papers. I prefer this!
This is so like my country. Except this is more entertaining. In my country the media only pick the part when the opposition losing the debate and show it to the public.
If you look at TV pictures of the House of Commons chamber on the back of the GREEN benches there is a wooden strip and at intervals there is a circular roundel quite smal but in there there is a loud speaker that enables the rest of the chamber to hear what is said.
as a brit i can honestly say that i am ashamed. this most replicas a childrens playground then a debating room disscussing the future of our country. you americans should be proud that your politicians can talk like adults
@socialist123 WTF are you talking about. America's congress is probably the most incompetent out of the developed world. At least you get some entertainment out of yours. All we get is trash talking on tv programings and bs politics circle talks with no end. we don't even have a politician debate on tv since its controlled.
@socialist123 You are a socialist and it is not surprising, you are a self hating, apologist and as a socialist you should not call yourself a Britn, since you hate the concept of national identity
@socialist123 Their British identity is only a civic identity, they wil never be ethnically Scottish or English nor will anyone in Britain identify with them i the same way as they identify with people of their own ethnicity. You cannot deny the concept of identity, and ethnic identity is one of the most fundamental componants of our psychological makeup whether you like it or not.
i don't even know what this is, but it's funny as hell

Noticed to 2 red lines ? are as much apart as two sword lenghts. Standing on the lines you could taunt your counterpart, but you cannot reach him physically. Ancient regularies. ;)

Did you know the phase 'toeing the line' comes from those red lines in the Commons?

@Insulterz If i remember correctly. This chamber is medieval and the size hasn't changed since. It also forces you to hear and listen to everyone.

Just like the mainland China.

If you have any doubt how much of a "fucking disaster" the "One-eyed Scottish Idiot" was then google "Tullett Prebon Thinking the Unthinkable". It is 34 page report that describes a litany of failure that characterized his time as Chancellor and PM. Brown just about fucked up everything he got his hands on .This shameless,reckless,mentally unstable, desperate moron has done severe damage to this country that will not be undone for decades if ever.

The British parliament controls England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The Scottish Parliament has the majority of civil governance over Scotland, but the British parliament holds total control. Brown, like any British citizen, has the right to be elected as an M.P. of the United Kingdom.

@donotserorator ha, in my opinon not at all. The tension wouldnt be as scary as it is now if we did have a parlimential government, but in the worst case the american politics are just filled up with old bags and old theiving men and women waiting to pounce on the next victim, which is the working class.

hi yes they do but.... they are not.
If you look at TV pictures of the House of Commons chamber on the back of the GREEN benches there is a wooden strip and at intervals there is a circular roundel quite smal but in there there is a loud speaker that enables the rest of the chamber to hear what is said.

@socialist123 WTF are you talking about. America's congress is probably the most incompetent out of the developed world. At least you get some entertainment out of yours. All we get is trash talking on tv programings and bs politics circle talks with no end. we don't even have a politician debate on tv since its controlled.

@socialist123 Their British identity is only a civic identity, they wil never be ethnically Scottish or English nor will anyone in Britain identify with them i the same way as they identify with people of their own ethnicity. You cannot deny the concept of identity, and ethnic identity is one of the most fundamental componants of our psychological makeup whether you like it or not.
