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

@Pepijn can I include the EU parliament?
@juliette I didn't study political science but IIRC the EU parliament is a transnational supranational assembly.
So no.

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 Hmm, yeah, my home country, sure, that's easy. But I've also been to quite a couple of other countries, often the capitals, often on sight-seeing. I guess I *must* have been at least close to another parliament building once. But I can't remember a specific instance or going inside. So voting 1.

@Pepijn booooooo

note: I won't edit the poll as people already answered. Just to say, read "national parliament" as the building in which a legislature sits and makes laws. Like the Palace of Westminster (UK) and Binnenhof (Netherlands)
Typical. We're a 100 participants in and my hypothesis are utterly unsupported.
I'm surprised to see not a single "5 or more" vote.
Already some interesting comments!

@Pepijn I have been to the D parliament but not the DK. For “the big” school trip we went to Aarhus and tivioli friheden instead. In the 80ish it might be similar vibes?

@Pepijn booooooo
@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 Does the EU Parliament count?

@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 i’d say 3, Hungary (Budapest), Germany (Berlin) and Netherlands (the Hague)

@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!)

@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.
