This is a scandal in the making when something happens to this building and nothing was done to prevent it.

Westminster is the symbol and heart of the British Government. For once i would not mind them spending my money to fix it probably. Means full decant but if their going to do the job do it right.

**It is a hugely important and very beautiful building, and we must find the money needed to protect and restore it.**
We should plan and build a new Parliamentary building, primarily to permanently house the second chamber (House of Lords), but could be large enough to take much of the House of Commons requirements in the interim. While the original HoP is restored to its full glory.
Find a large brownfield site, well served by the tube, and build a new Parliamentary complex. This should include sufficient purpose-built flats for all MPs to receive one as part of their remuneration.

The London equivalent of Notre Dame when it goes up or falls down. I cant see anybody funding for a rebuild like Notre Dame though.

If they decide to demolish it, I only hope they use explosives, on November 5th.
Let’s be honest, it’ll eventually be demolished and rebuilt into some abhorrent brutalist architecture to remind us we don’t matter, at the cost of billions, which will be pocketed by whichever government officials can get their fingers in that pie.

When the place burns down because of an electrical fault then let’s come back to this thread!

For the love of god. Can no one in government make a decision?
This is emblematic of why nothing gets done in this country.

I went there last week for a meeting with MPs, my local MP took me for a tour and there’s some incredible bits the architecture is up there with Bath Abbey.
I also saw two mice in the the canteen

The parliament needs to be moved temporarily, perhaps a large conference venue, and the entire building need to be vacated to allow full, unrestricted access and work.

They really need to do a full decant. Last week I visited for work and also had a tour, there were some parts of the building I felt like I should have been issued a hart hat to enter. Beautiful building though.
