Search "Tony Blair" on Youtube to see some examples. I love this stuff. I cant imagine any American president in the last 50 years from either side of the aisle lasting 20 minutes in this type of arena...

The Parliamentary system of government is IMHO a much better system than the US system when it comes to accountability. I think that at a very minimum there should be some equivalent of PM's questions in the US.
