Congress vs. Parliament

So it's been a while since I posted. Sorry to disappoint the 7 of you possibly reading this.

But I have found something amazing.

The British have done it again. Even their lawmaking process is made interesting.

For example, here is a session of American Congress (don't watch the whole thing - it's 17 minutes long):



Boring. As. Benjamin Button.

Here's British Parliament (watch the whole thing):



Brilliant! The British can make a debate on inheritance tax the awesomest 4 minutes of your day.

Highlights include 0:22 and 1:51. Those lawmakers know how to have a good time. It looks like a freestyle rap battle between guys who talk funny and decide how an entire country should be run.

I say we wrangle up some Brits, lock them in a fancy room, tell them to talk about the health care crisis, and watch the discussion slowly dissolve into a shouting match between the two sides that is moderated by an unusually soft-spoken old guy.

British Parliament: the most recent addition to things I like.
