New Building, New Politics?

It was quite funny to see so many MP’s worrying about having to move out of the House of Commons for up to five years in order for the Commons authorities to complete major repair and refurbishment work to the building that could cost about £3 billion, more if MP's remain.

The Westminster palaces are historic and a symbol of parliamentary sovereignty and should be preserved for visitors, but if our politicians were smart they would realize the costs of an old building will continually rise and use this as an opportunity after the numerous scandals over decades and general and growing public apathy to commission and build a new UK Parliament building, after all what more powerful symbol of political renewal on these islands could there be.
