    How many national parliaments (the buildings) have you visited?

    My hypothesis is that a significant mid-double-digit percentage of people have at least visited the one in their home country (often as part of a school trip) and the other options will all be single digit percentages.

    I'm not gonne do the "boost for scientific accuracy" thing here.. but, uhm.. if you can boost this it'll be more accurate, in a scientistic way.

    Mainly: tell us about your experiences!

      @Pepijn
      I visited the French Assemblée Nationale for a school trip when I was 16.
      Visited the Bundestag the summer I did an internship in Berlin (but didn’t do the full
      tour you got)
      Went in the courtyard of the Binnenhof (not sure if that counts)
      And of course did the full EUP thing as I studied in Strasbourg, but apparently that “doesn’t count”.

          @Pepijn Are you counting Scotland (and Wales and Northern Ireland) as their own nations in this context? Because Scotland can pass some of their (our) own laws, but Westminster has a degree of veto power. (To be clear, I *would* count it, but I want to make sure I give you as accurate data as possible!)

            @juliette How about you voice your disagreement by standing on a roundabout outside a small French village. You can even wear a yellow high-visibility jacket.

            And then, if I happen to pass by, we'll talk.

              @Pepijn I’ve been to the EU parliament in Brussels and both the 1e and 2e Kamer in the Netherlands now that they are in separate buildings in Den Haag, but no, not really into visiting parliaments I guess.

                @Pepijn I think I've been inside the French parliament but it wasn't a visit, I only went to a small hearing (not in the main room). Does that count? I also visited the European Parliament but I understand it doesn't count.

                    @Pepijn never been inside the British houses, despite being from there, although London is a long waybfrom Liverpool.
                    I have however been inside the Danish ones with my language school during my 3 free years of Danish language courses.

                      I have been at 4-5, but in none. There have always been other things that have had higher prio when on vacation 🙂

                          @Pepijn I'm counting as "being inside it", rather than looking at it from the outside.

                          From North Wales, both the Senedd (Wales) and Palace of Westminster (UK) are a bugger to get too for me/school trips.

                            @onqueerstreet I'd say the northern-Irish, Welsh and Scottish ones count.

                            If anyone disagrees I'd be interested to know why.

                              @Pepijn I don't think it's possible everywhere to visit national Parliaments. Unless a regular citizen is specifically invited for a hearing a lot of countries don't allow visitors due to security concerns.
                              Italy and France are amon those. When I lived in Berlin I was very surprised to learn that visitors could walk inside the Bundestag.

                              So I guess I will have to answer 0.

                                @Pepijn I remember being outside of the one the US, Nepal, and England but I don't think that I was ever inside of any of them.

                                    @Pepijn I’ve walked past the UK parliament often, but never gone inside. My son had a school trip there recently but it was just the students studying Politics who went (and were just an hour from London)

                                      How many national parliaments (the buildings) have you visited?

                                      My hypothesis is that a significant mid-double-digit percentage of people have at least visited the one in their home country (often as part of a school trip) and the other options will all be single digit percentages.

                                      I'm not gonne do the "boost for scientific accuracy" thing here.. but, uhm.. if you can boost this it'll be more accurate, in a scientistic way.

                                      @Pepijn Does this count former parliaments? If so, I'm counting the Þing in Iceland, at its original location of Þingvellir

                                        I visited the French Assemblée Nationale for a school trip when I was 16.
                                        Visited the Bundestag the summer I did an internship in Berlin (but didn’t do the full
                                        tour you got)
                                        Went in the courtyard of the Binnenhof (not sure if that counts)
                                        And of course did the full EUP thing as I studied in Strasbourg, but apparently that “doesn’t count”.

                                        @juliette If the courtyard of the Binnenhof counts I guess the public outside area of the Danish thingy also counts?

                                          @bellinghman Isn't that basically a rocky field?
