Prime Minister's Question Time (UK)

(1/3) > >>

Lincoln:
Once in a while they show this on the channel CPAC here in Canada. I can't believe how respectable British politicians are to each other, at least compared to here. There's a bit of ruckus that I saw, but overall it was extremely civil. Are all Brits this polite? I always heard that stereotype.

Don Rizzle:
yea they always have to say the 'honerable' member/gentlemen/friend and they are not allowed to directly accuse anyone of lying. i love watching PMQs its quality they get some heated debates going

but no were not all that polite, but parliament is very traditional not much has changed in the last 4 hundred years or so.....

Well we do that in Canada too, the whole Honourable thing, followed by member or colleage. But we have lots of heckling between the parties and harsh language. The other day a Minister was called a "sleazebag", I never heard anything remotely that bad in your Parliament.

Don Rizzle:
yea u'd probably get thrown out of parliament for saying that, but we do get heckleing it just gone about in a different manner

Usually folks would get thrown out, but over the last year and a half shit's gone crazy, it might be because we have a minority government.

Does Britain get many of those?
