333: Lions Stood Still
Parliamentary Question Period, Rigged UK System, 48-Hour Notice
A comparison between the Canadian and British parliamentary systems reveals that the UK's "Prime Minister's Questions" is largely a staged performance.

This revelation suggests the televised debates on C-SPAN are a "charade" rather than true accountability.
