3 governments more interesting than ours (U.S)

Being without T.V. and Internet for three weeks sucks… Finally we got “basic cable” and internet up. In my stupidity, i thought basic cable meant all the channels that didn’t need a digital box to receive. I was wrong… We have only the main networks (abc, cbs, etc), the home shopping networks, and like 3 C-spans. I began to think… “what if C span was actually fun to watch.” With that idea, I’ve compilled a short list of governments that are way more interesting then our own along with a video clip.

British Government
England has a good thing going. The prime minister of their government must answer questions without talking points. I would be like a democrat asking president Bush a question on global warming with him being able prepare with the help of speech writers. There are a ton of clips on youtube with my favorite PM (blair) serving an opposition member.


Australian Government
Australia is full of characters. Recently the P.M mandated that parliament had to work 5 days a week. There was a giant upheaval which lead to the video below. Australia is great in that it is very similar to england in their bill discussions… but they also has the occasional parliament brawl.


Taiwanese Government
Not really much content here… imagine if the outcome of a bill in congress was decided by a battle in the octagon. Who do you think would pick up the folding chair first? Obama or McCain


I hope these videos help you realize that our government isn’t perfect… and governments around the world are getting things done as well.
