France could’ve adopted Luxembourg seating arrangment…to reflect certain revolution.
The asymmetry in the polish parliament (top left 3 “long lanes” and top right only 1) makes me angry.
Could any pole explain the reason for this?
Also the Latvian design seems to be pretty unusual
Edit: Thanks for the clarification
Growing up in Italian-American area, I recall a joke from my childhood “ Hey Tony, why do you think Italian parliament built as a circle? – Luca, have you ever seen a square circus?”
I like the Slovenian one…
Churchill said that the layout of the seating directly impacted how a parliament worked. Ideally it needed to make sure everyone could see everyone else, while also forcing members to pick a side.
So Estonia looks like a standard classroom, but all the bad kids are banished to the left side, near the windows, so that they can have the view to to distract them from crosswords, sudokus and daily politics.
Just a correction to the title: The seat arrangements in *EU* parliaments *(2007-2013)*.
Every other country: We should have seating positions in a way where members can converse with each other.
