I found today very strange, in what is possibly one of the most historic days in all our lives and notably in the lives of many innocent civilians in Syria, I found the way Parliament operated to be very strange.
I love the democracy of our country incredibly, with each member actually voted by the popular vote to take their place in parliament to make these massive decisions on our behalf, however throughout the whole PMs Question time I was actually horrified by the pantomime behaviour involved. Taking away the whole, 'Government rebuking the opposition for going to war in Iraq despite intelligence, then appearing to encourage the same', the guffawing, hooting, hollering and imbecile antics of many of the members seems almost idiotic considering the fate of Syrian population based on the decision put forward (which to be fair seems no win to those in their 'general public.'
I wonder do the MPs actually watch it back and ask why the younger generation have apathy, when if they behaved in a similar manner would be tagged with an ASBO?
More importantly, why doesn't someone in the press actually challenge this behaviour? I'm as proud of Britains heritage and history as the next person, but this antiquated system surely shouldn't survive? It's akin really to everyone in London commuting by horse and cart surely?
Would love for someone to give me the answer, but I guess the truth/social behaviour order doesn't exist?
