Your democracy at work, Britain.
This is a live shot of the UK House of Commons debating the extremely controversial Digital Economy Bill (wikipedia, BBC, Telegraph, there are many more). The incumbent Labour government is trying to push this complex Bill into law today with minimal discussion as one of the last acts of its Parliament, before an election it is expected to lose next month.
The UK has 646 MPs. I count around 30 in that picture.
It just got worse…
