Parliament Debate
Look at that. All the memebers are in the room, and the two parties are debating with each other. And even their leader is there, forced to represent his party and be the leader of the debate. There are no staged questions, and there is no phony to answer the questions for the leader. And both the parties are there jearing or cheering the leaders. It actually makes the Prime Minister seem like he is part of the governement and contributes to it.
In the US, the President almost never joins in debates or answers straight questions. Almost all answers are prepared. And when you see a member from the House debated, you'll be lucky to see 10 people in the seats watching. There is no energy or anger. You see Parliament get excited and full of energy and really become part of it. It seriously IS a debate.
Also, look how entertaining it is to watch them! If you dont agree with what i said above, you can at least agree that watching Parliament debate >> watching Congress debate. That is seriously a borefest.
