The House of Commons is weird. Does any other parliament from any other country feature this kind of whooping and booing?

It's like Congress, but with a three drink minimum.

Well... I'm from Portugal, and the national Parliament has regular laughing, booing, etc.

I think it's a common thing in european nations, maybe because no one here wants to give a politician a free ride just because they happen to be the prime minister.

Ruled by a bunch of guffawing boors... so that's what's become of the British Empire.

It's actually a parliament thing, as far as I can tell. Canada's House of Commons does the same thing.

I think that Congress would be improved by some whooping and hollering.

It's great entertainment. I always try to catch Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesdays. Thing is the public have been jeering and booing them for the past few weeks because of the expenses scandal and surprise, suprise they don't like it!

I always loved the way the Simpsons presented the Australian ministers

"That's a bloody outrage, that is... I'm taking that straight to the prime minister!"
(walks 10 meters to a lake with the PM sitting naked in a ring with a beer)
"Oi, Prime minister!!.. Andy?!"
PM: "What's the good word, gents?"

I'm also pretty sure that while the British House of Commons have a three drink minimum, the Russian parliament has a ten drink minimum.

Its common with all parliamentary systems.

The parliament here in Norway is of the boring kind, sadly. But then, we didn't have a parliamentary system from scratch; it was made into one long after the constitution was written.

Fucking labour and conservatives.. what's the phrase, giant douche or a shit sandwich? We'll need another couple of alternatives to cover all bases.

God i hate british politics. Biggest bunch of public schoolboys masonic handshaking each other up the echelons of the westminster clique i have ever had the misfortune to be governed by.

And when i say governed, i mean they have habitually and with regularity stolen from me, treated me like a blind fool, lied to me, and allowed my country to turn into a pile of shit.

I swear to god if i could find it i'd sift it. A video of some tory CUNT being the latest bastard to get caught stealing under the guise of 'expenses claim' to have his fucking moat cleaned, or a floating duck island put in his mini-lake.

His response to having been caught red handed? "It's jealousy. Nothing but jealous! I have an excedingly large house and these people are simply jealous."

When i saw that on the news, it brought my piss to a boil - i nearly ripped open my shirt hulk hogan style and turned my street into a crater.

that one was PERFECT!
