Watch Question Time on C-Span. UK parliamentary debates are democracy in action, and are often an eloquent battle of wits. A Prime Minister is not a figurehead, like head of state. He is the mover and shaker so gets all the flack. There has always been a strong anti-European sentiment in Britain, and this man is undoubtedly one of it’s more outspoken advocates. He looks a little too fresh-faced to know what a Brezhnev apparatchik was.

[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Dude’s a stud! And a very articulate, well-informed one at that.

I can’t think of a single American politician, with the exception of Ron Paul, willing to stand up and deliver a speech with that kind of moral weight to the President.

You’re right. He should come here and speak to the American people. The problem is: They’d never let him. Knowledge is power and power, in the hands of the people, can be very, very dangerous.[/quote]

By the same token (and mind you I really liked the clip) our head of government is an executive and not part of the legislature. A more appropriate analog would be a representative giving that speech to Nancy Pelosi or for this dude (even though he is NOT in the British Parliment) to give it to the Queen.

Of course that sounds like the opening of a Monty Python sketch but the reality is that Britain is run by their House of Representatives. This guy did not even rate for that body. That’s probably why Brown is chuckling at him.
