Another example of our "Out of Touch" Political system?

[CaptainComedy]

I'm in agreement with the OP, MPs are out of touch and need to engage with the younger generation.

I suggest that the current Chamber be decked out like the one from Star Wars and have floating pods where MPs can debate.

They could put their pet dogs in one of them and pass them off as Wookies.

The Speaker can be sprayed blue and have Viking horns stuck to the side of his head.

Gordon Brown is quite jowly so all you need to do is paste his face with talc and give him a hooded cloak to wear and hey presto, he can be the Emporer. The Queen can be fitted with huge earphones sprayed brown and her face painted white and she can be Queen Amidala.

Gordon Brown's bodyguards could then be decked out in Royal Guard uniforms.

The house of Lords can then be decked out like the Jedi Temple.

Watch the younglings then flock to politics.

I don't think you are seeing the whole picture here.

House of commons

vs

Welsh Assembly

I guess you could say the house of commons could do with a refurbishment? or would you preffer them working in the 1800s

barmey. Only in the UK would we actively discourage things like this. I dont think any marketing depts for these phones care too much either

I don't agree with using tech in the house of commons at all.
He or other MPs could be getting back handers for advertising a gadget. And knowing our MPs they are

"Alistair Burt on my new Blackberry with the new strawberry addon at £30 reading about vat on Tech goods and hows it not right"

See what I mean

I think that's a poor reason to stop it considering the huge benefits.

It's unfair to say its the system or the UK, its the Pratt of a speaker that's now been installed. From being politically biased to making it up as he goes along, he is everything a speaker shouldn't be.
