#is it around 220 or so mps at a federal level all up senate and house of reps combined? this sounds a lot less terrible

reading up about british government as an australian (or as anyone) is sooo fucked up literally.. what do you mean are there actually well over a thousand mps at a federal level? why do you genuinely actually have a house of fucking lords? why is your parliament building a palace? are you ever serious? please be fucking serious for once? 1428 mps in the two houses combined? why do you need that many? why do you need that many? are the lords actually controlling shit? are the 778 people in the hereditary house of lords that still exists in 2023 actually controlling things?

#so many questions that im not sure i want the answers to. look im not one for any of this shit i hope it burns but #at least australia isnt as bad as britain #is it around 220 or so mps at a federal level all up senate and house of reps combined? this sounds a lot less terrible #shut up ulrike
