British PM gets savaged (verbally) at EU meet.

I love the way British representatives get to directly call out their Prime Minister during events like this. I can't imagine congressmen in America ever confronting and insulting the president this way directly.. Our president lives in a protected bubble. Their leader needs to face the people's representatives every week for questions on live TV. Bravo Europeans.

There's something about getting insulted in a proper British accent that makes the pwnage that much worse.

I admit Question Time can be fun, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

The only way this would happen in the US would be if it came from the president's opposing party. Politicians are too loyal to their party in the US to insult a candidate in their own party. Aside from a few maveri...i can't even stand to use that term anymore.

Question period = useless theatrics, plain and simple.

At least the British people have a clue what is going on. The average man on the street in America doesn't know anything about anything political.

But again even if you're right, it still doesn't seem to make much of a difference. They invaded Iraq too, for example.
