Reforming the UK House of Commons to be like the Banana Splits Club mettings


After watching a clip on YouTube of a Banana Splits Club meeting, with Fleagle shouting order and banging his gavel, reminded me of the speaker doing that in the UK Houses of Parliament.
So I thought, what about the House of Commons being organised on similar lines? The speaker would obviously have to dress up as Fleagle and all of the other MP's could dress up as other members of the Banana Splits (with female MP's having the additional option of dressing up as the Sour Grapes Bunch). Also the clock tower would have an opening where the Banana Splits cuckoo could appear on the hour, come out with a quick, witty one liner, have some canned laughter out of some giant loud speakers and then go back in again. I think that this would get a lot more people in the UK interested in politics.
