wtf it looks like the eu parliament
Caleb Rogers
it's built under a superlaser though
Jack Nelson
everything in the brd-gmbh made to look as inoffensive and boring as possible to prevent stirring any feelings of pride
William Morgan
>Keeping the eagle from the nazi era
Wew.
Angel Foster
At least they can probably fit all their politicians in at the same time with enough elbow room.
Angel Stewart
I wish my parliament was this small too, instead I have to feed thousands of parasites
Brandon King
>Having thehe EU flag in your national parlament
Disgusting
Connor Anderson
rate the senate
Grayson Reed
Though could get rid of the lords and use their chamber.
Xavier Young
the house of commons is probably the worst parliament in any developed country, your MEP's act like children throwing a hissy fit and this picture explains a lot
Jackson Jenkins
and the House of Representatives on the other side of the building
Brody Diaz
how 50 people can represent 300 million in your highest govt body is beyond me. Here in the UK 650 people represent about 70 million.

westminster-style parliaments are objectively the most comfy
the confrontational atmosphere is part of what makes it comfy
non-anglos (incl. yanks) wouldn't understand
Alexander White
8/10 pretty good
>not enjoying political banter
Bentley Stewart
German architecture has to go back those glory days.
Alexander Nelson
Yes things can get very heated but all in a civilised manner.
Nathan Lee
the senate is composed of 100 people, not 50, and the house is totaled at 435 members, there are also subsequent houses and senates in each state
Robert Miller
nice but why are americans obsessed with moquette on the floor?
also rate this
Gabriel Carter
All the parliaments, senates and so on are full of bastards, parasitea and criminals whose only purpose is to steal as much money from us ordinary people and and to make plans about how else could they use and exploit us.
For us average people the enemy is not on the other side of the world, the enemy is not some "average Joe" from a different country. Our enemies are occupying our capitals and calling themselves "government". Every single politician is a criminal who deserves a tight rope around his neck.
Asher Thompson
>italian parliament is shaped like a pizza
Landon Evans
quebec has a pretty aesthetic provincial legislature
probably the best one in canada
Jonathan Williams
more like how 2 people can represent a state that has 600k people and another 2 people represent a state that has 40 million people with both having equal voting rights
William Sanders
imagine the smell
Justin Thompson
bc's is pretty good
Sebastian Davis
that is in place for the purpose of equality, as in the house the number of representatives is directly proportional to population
David Watson
the position of those desks and chairs makes the floor look uneven
Jordan Lopez
but where left and right parties sit in those parliaments?
Jonathan Robinson
Bentley Russell
except that is completely untrue, some hillbilly farmer has 3 times as many "votes" as a chicANO in california
not to even mention how FPTP makes your vote matter absolutely nothing if you vote for the losing candidate
Wyatt Roberts
why is that eagle so thicc
Camden Campbell
Can you make up your mind on what you're trying to argue?
Michael Wright
Haha, can't yanks fucking count or what?
Ryan Roberts
government to the right of the speaker, opposition to the left
except in newfoundland where it's the opposite because in their original house of assembly the heater was on the left side of the chamber
arranging parties by ideology is for runts
Christian Wood
>a hillbilly farmer should be overshadowed by the number of CHI votes in government
>that equality in europe
Ryder Rivera
ur system is retarded and so r u
Alexander Rogers
Check out our constitutional court
JUST
Adam Hall
the more u know!
Ethan Gutierrez
where is the IKEA logo?
Zachary Torres
The Senato is better
Julian Bell
OBSESSED
Austin Fisher
I hate this fucking eagle, it's so ugly. But fortunately they seem to use the old hexagonal one more often again in documents and other things.
Eli Perez
absolutly disgusting
whoever designed that should be ashamed
the fist one was way better
Kevin Powell
Our chancellery
Nolan Richardson
Masonic influence is strong
Tyler Davis
great stairs inside of it, where queen merkel comes down to greet the low borns
flags are our vassalstates
Nicholas Wilson
could be worse
Lucas Reyes
West German and East German administrative buildings are equally horrible. The upside of East German ones is that most of them were torn down after the country's failure.
Our federal administrative court is glorious though, same building that housed the imperial court of justice in the Kaiserreich and the Third Reich.
Eli Robinson
they should take something like pic related, the entire Bundestagsgebäude is just plain ugly
Caleb Mitchell
In you're saying the senate is stupid because all states have an equal number of senators. The whole point of our bicameral legislature is that it was a compromise between the large states, who wanted representation based on population, and the small states, who wanted equal representation because why would they join a union where they have no voice.
In you're arguing about the fact that the House of Representatives is not performing its job of representation based on population which is a pretty common complaint but conservashits don't want to change it.
Nathan Adams
It's supposed to look modern, plain and neutral in order to avoid any connotations with previous eras.
Some facts:
The seats are removable so after each election they change the seats to reflect the party factions. You can see the aisles delineating the different parties.
The height of the podium is adjustable, even for disabled people wheel chairs, anything in general is accessible for disabled people (our former finance minister took a bullet to the knee and spine)
The wooden flag pole with the German flag is from the former parliament in Bonn.
Above the parliament chamber there is a glass roof and above that there is a mirror ensemble within the class dome that illuminates the chamber with day light. Some symbolism about government transparency going on there.

When you erase tradition and history the result is generic garbage without identity

Why should MPs have a luxurious place to work in? They're public servants
Jeremiah Watson
Yes it looks Orwellian enough, good job

Jason Gomez

Gavin Thompson
Looks comfy
Jaxon James
I actually like it and the modern german style in general.
It has a nice sterile and clean feeling to it.
Most other parliaments (except the eu one) try to invoke history and tradition.
The german parliament makes me think about the future.

>hurr durr why don’t we ever get anything done?
Christian Garcia
At least the architecture looks good. Tasteful mid-century modern
Easton Powell
I have to agree it looks nice
Cameron Wilson
>literal soup bowl for some reason on top of the building
>tasteful
Owen Wright
Beautiful building imo, these modernist buildings are very calming and nice inside generally.
Ian Evans
>that fat chicken is their "eagle"
when did everything go so wrong germany?
Charles Cox
Was this the one done by Le Corbusier?
James Green
Oscar Niemeyer
His works are hit or miss. Some are absolutely fantastic, while others just look like vertical slums.
Jaxon Nelson
It's the same eagle
Andrew Williams
Thanks, a lot like Corbusier though
Jonathan Jenkins
why did it get fat? what's the point of an eagle that's too fat to fly? is this allegory for modern germany being useless?
Kevin Powell
It has been the same since the HRE, the nazis used it too.
Owen White
Looks like a stock exchange
Landon Lee
Wasn't the new reichtag designed by foster
Levi Peterson
Nazi Vampire, they got purged though by their clan-brethren.
Zachary Morris
That looks cool, although FUCK nazis
Ethan Johnson
He was a very strong influence on Niemeyer. They actually designed the UN Headquarters together.
Daniel Gomez
Thats comfy tho, I actually like when im seated next to someone, feels more human.
Caleb Collins
One of your clothing brands actually stole it
Julian Ward
Ours seems so detached compared to others, no wonder people fall asleep.
Kevin Scott
Step up guys.
Easton Thompson
can't the legislators see up womens' skirts in that building?
Angel Gonzalez
it's called fat hen, it's supposed to look like a fat flightless bird who can't threaten anyone, just like modern germany
Angel Powell
Why even bother having a congress, isnt Xinpeng dictator for life now?
Owen Cooper
I recommend anyone visiting america to check the capitol. The tours are free and the they filled the old senate chamber and the dome with beautiful art and statues. Just come in weekdays so you can also see the actual new senate and house of representatives , you'll also see senators doing their stuff
Camden Walker
it's not it's ugly, this is the original one. Also it derived from pic related. The eagle never has been fat.
Camden Nelson

Austin Torres
Jacob Diaz
Looks like the hotel from Fallout Far Harbor
Julian Cook
Our's is pretty nice if I'm honest.
Charles Fisher
The German parliament is BY FAR the most aesthetical. See this imgur album of all European parliaments (don't forget to click the load more images button at the bottom):

Thomas Fisher
Very interesting thank you for this
Josiah Howard
Nah I've watched some of your parliamentary proceedings, it was top comfy.
Carson Johnson
I went to DC a few years ago. Blew my fucking mind. If there is something Americans can do right, it’s monuments and memorials.
Easton Gonzalez
It would be nicer if those lazy fucks actually bothered to show up and try to have at least 80% attendance most of the time
Sebastian Thompson
To think, we could have had a turkey as our national symbol.
Owen Ross
its not supposed to be a representative democracy, its a federation of states meaning states have a larger say than their individual populations
not that hard to understand
