The House of Commons is one big Monty Python skit.

[@headlikeorange3600]

David Arbelaez I'm not even from the UK. I'm just watching because this is goddamn hysterical/tragic. Can't believe the Brits managed to colonize half the world with this kind of attitude.

[@headlikeorange3600]

***** Can you be ruthless? Sure. But only if America tells you it's okay first.

[@headlikeorange3600]

***** Fair enough. I just get the feeling people think the UK is weak and does whatever the US tells it to.

[@Anon54387]

***** Well, Britain is still the 5th largest economy in the world. No small potatoes, that. Personally, I think it'd have been better if the British Empire was still what it was in the early 20th C. India, if it'd have been a colony even for another 2 or 3 generations, would have been far less corrupt and more prosperous. In fact, no less a figure than SirWSC said as much. India was making real progress, and it's why I think Ghandi was a destructive figure in history. Look at the bloodshed after the British left. Incidentally, I had a friend in high school whose family had a really poor opinion of Ghandi for that reason. It was interesting to talk to people directly who'd lived there. As to us Yanks, you have to admit that we had a point about being taxed but with no seats in Parliament. We were British, after all.

[@Anon54387]

***** I'm a bit grating to some of my fellow Americans because I realize that we did have support in the Revolution. I'm a conservative, and so often get accused of being a revisionist and anti-American for saying that. I'm hardly either. As to British strength, when we wanted to expand north after the Revolution, we were stopped cold by the British and it's why the Canadian border is where it is today. We did many resourceful and courageous things, but we did have support. I just wish that Britain and the USA could have set aside the differences far sooner than we did, for I think it would have served us both better. We almost came to war as late as the 1890s, for our interests conflicted in South America. I think Britain has been a great friend to America, and if it hadn't been for you who knows if we'd have been able to win WW2. Britain also paid back all those lend lease debts, even though Britain could have gotten a pass on that. To boot, Britain paid them back ahead of schedule. Also, Britain is the only other country aside from the USA who has met NATO funding agreements. I have this theory that Ghandi is viewed by so many in America as a positive figure for the same reason that one can't get anything like accurate news on the major networks. Anything that serves the leftist cause, and anti-Westernism does just that, is what you'll find in the news and in Hollywood movies. What do you think of your election just last week?

It's a technicality of the rules. You can infer that an MP is mistaken on a point, or even hiding details, but you can't call their honesty or honour into question. That's why MPs always have to address each other as "the honourable member", and why we have terms like "economical with the truth". You can't say another MP is lying in parliament, so they have to use more roundabout ways of saying it. You also can't directly insult another MP. You can insult their opinion, but not the MP.

I think one man in a pub put it best. If you ask a commoner a political question the answer is always they want change. There was a scene in Gogglebox, Jon Oliver's show tells me, where the viewers asked "why are we being asked to vote on this? They are the ones who have the necessary information to make a proper decision". Now you have businesses, and peace in Ireland, so dependent on free trade with the EU that to go with the people's will per the vote would create cataclysmic devastation.
