So, 40 billion pounds and 60 years to renovate parliament? It’s all unreal stupid numbers at this point. It’d probably be cheaper to let it burn down and build a replica at this point.

I’m sure it’d be cheaper if it didn’t have to function as a parliament. Break up the UK, have the English parliament in Birmingham (I dunno, maybe? I don’t care, or break up England too?) and turn the Palace of Westminster into a museum or whatever.

@aegir oh please god yes. A purpose built modern parliament to move away from stupid us v them battle bullshit. Even the senate in the US is rounded not one side Vs other which makes politics much less collaborative which it should be for the people.

@aegir @motoridersd Okay, but like 60 years is actually nutzo.

@javensbukan @motoridersd See that looks a hell of a lot more complicated and difficult and they were talking about 5 billion Canadian dollars to do it! That’s what, £2.7bn?

@aegir @motoridersd Yeah, they're putting the entire building on seismic isolators as well as blasting a new security and welcome center underneath it, in addition to the regular preservation and maintenance.
