From the eyes of an American this seems to be brutal and Politicians in Europe, and Australia must have thick skins. I wonder if the view of Politicians here in the U.S. is the same in said countries. I wonder how different the U.S. Government would work and how policy decisions were made if it worked like this.

Britain







Australia

Superior. While the decorum isn't as "respectable" the fact is there is a huge sense of accountability in the European system. The parliamentary system is more efficient and can keep the executive powers in the legislature until they are satisfied with the executives answers.

In theory yes, but in practice they almost always vote as the leaders of their party decided. (At least here in Germany)

I don't remember who it was but someone once wielded that golden sceptre in the middle at the guy opposite lol. This system certainly makes the working of government more enjoyable to watch and I imagine to be a part of.
