Another MP took the mace and tried to leave the chamber with it in 2018 and he also got suspended

@BritishRoyalFamilyFans
January 7, 2024 at 8:48 am
OK but what's annoying me is who is it that sits in the 3 seats directly in front of the speaker ?
@senateurabou514

thank you for this video
@MrKashmire123
January 7, 2024 at 8:48 am
This maybe a very random comment a few years after this video went up, but to be able to forever say that I sat on the 5th row row, on the Government's side and just inside of the Staircase on the right hand side; for the UK Youth Parliament's annual sitting on November 14th 2014, is quite surreal to mention!
@Nucleotide5313
January 7, 2024 at 8:48 am
What happens if the majority party gains more than MP positions than there are seats on their half of the HoC? I assume they absolutely would not also sit on the opposing side also. Does this mean no matter how many MPs the majority party has, they have a finite number of seats for their MPs to sit in so all can't be represented at once?
@closetglobe

okay but who sits in the 3 seats in front of the speaker?

It seems stupid that some elected MPs can't speak or sit with the others
@juliaconnell
January 7, 2024 at 8:48 am
thank you most useful – ok so the "bar of the house" – the white line – why are there always people standing there – EVEN WHEN THERE ARE SEATS available. (I understand that there are more MPs than seats – but still, even when House is basically empty there are always been there….)
@mattg5878
January 7, 2024 at 8:48 am
Worth mentioning that the back benchers sit in groups too, based on opinion/ loyalty to the government.

Not enough seats? There is no sense in clinging to tradition in this situation. Nobody criticized prince Philip for moving the dining room nearer to the kitchens in Buck-House. It's time to cut loose from all this old stuff.
Build a new parliament house somewhere inside greater London with lots of office room . Get 2 big debating chambers in semicircles (commons and lords). This helps to reduce all this childish confrontation in the commons. Change the voting system to proportional representation. Make the mass media (and internet platforms) more democratic and transparent. Give everyone in the debating chamber a small desk with a button ( yes/no) to stop all this ridiculous walking out of the chamber to vote. Also have the various factions have one speaker on each issue. (saves a lot of time). For my sake keep the mace and some of the older artefacts, but get a rule book about debates and give all MPs a copy. It's no wonder that the majority of recent laws and regulations came from Brussels if this is how the British parliament runs. Get out of the 12th century and into the 21st century!!!

January 7, 2024 at 8:48 am
Wait a minute… This wasn't the "weird side" of parliament?! Not enough seats for everybody, a magic talking stick in the middle and people sitting sword length apart is the normal part? Can't wait to watch the "weird" video now^^
