Parliament

The beams in side the hall were incredibly detailed.

Parliament is part of the same building as Big Ben. This hall is the only place you are allowed to take pictures. Which is kind of lame, because the building was awesome. I would've loved to put more pictures up, but there are only so many interesting pictures you can take of the same room...

Still it was a pretty amazing room.

I Googled the PMQ's and found Margret Thatcher's last Prime Minister Questions. Here's the link:

Watch it! It's kind of long, but it's totally worth while. It's amazing! She is so quick, plus it's just so fun to watch, because it's super funny and confrontational and there are people yelling and standing, and a guy in a wig yelling order, etc. It's awesome. Also, it has topics which are incredibly poignant for our day and time, which is interesting considering that this was the late 80's when it was filmed. 

They do the Prime Minister questions every week. I wish we had something like this in the states. It would do us good to have an opportunity to hear where the President stood on different policies on a weekly basis. Maybe more of the country would be better informed or informed at all if we did. Plus it's just cool.
