I had a wonderful day visit to the Houses of Parliament... a tour around, a meeting with a local MP, then lunch with 4 local MPs. I found myself sitting next to my own MP for lunch in the private dining room we were in, which was a great opportunity to learn more about the workings of parliament. I also managed to get 30 minutes watching the House of Lords and 30 minutes watching the Commons - something I have always wanted to do. The experience was wonderful. I suspect it is as well I didn't do this years ago - or I may have decided I wanted to be an MP!
It struck me that this is something all teenagers should experience... A visit there would help to instill ambition to achieve more from life and a greater respect for history and for government.
