Palace of Westminster - The Mother of all Parliaments.

A report says major restoration of the Houses of Parliament without moving MPs and peers out would cost £5.7bn and take 32 years. If MP and peers were moved out for six years, the cost would drop to £3.5bn.

The 150-year-old Grade I listed building is partly sinking, contains asbestos and has outdated cabling. A 2012 report warned the building could suffer "major, irreversible damage" without significant restoration work.

I have a simple solution! Move Parliament out of London to somewhere central & accessible to the whole of the UK. Make Parliament relevant to all of us not just politicians, journalists & the chattering classes. Build a wonderful, purpose built, 21st century building for future generations. The Scots & the Welsh have done it very successfully. Look at parliament buildings in other countries too. Then do the work on the Palace of Westminster & open it to tourists & functions. It would pay for itself in no time.

Get rid of the adversarial benches so pathetic, juvenile, MP's can't embarrass us all by shouting and braying at eachother across the aisles. Build a debating chamber in the round & let MP's sit wherever they like. Get rid of the building and the arcane practices that go with it.

Sometimes history has a death grip on progress. Democracy & parliament is more important than this one historic building.
