Want to see how British Government works? Hilarious!

[katzpaw]

It's called Question Period.
The opposition parties get to publicly grill the majority party & the PM. (& also grand stand).

Afterwards they get down to the boring business of legislating.

In the UK & Canada the government can't hide behind Sarah Sanders' skirt.

Well I didn't expect some kind of Spanish Inquisition.

Considering that the British have used this system for more or less 800 years, I would say that it has worked fairly well. What other countries have systems that have worked better for longer than the British?

Were Americans ever to witness such an event, they might actually think twice about electing someone like the snowflake currently taking up space in the Whitehouse.

Tweets are for twits.

Sarah Sanders is Baghdad Bob incarnate.

LOL - well it is a British Parliament thread, so a bit of Monty Python is always welcome.

I somehow don't think we Americans have any room to laugh at any other administration, especially after the debacle we have in our own Presidency, right now. The world is laughing at us, and Trump, with good reason.

Kind of goes against the Blonde, pageant queen rep Trump has, huh? Classy of you to make fat jokes, though.
