Triumph for parliament

14.03.36: WESTMINSTER IS moving to Warwickshire.

After years of argument, the government appears to be reaching the final stages of agreement on moving Britain's parliament to the site of a former Triumph motorcycle factory in Meriden, Warwickshire, the geographical centre of England. The multi-billion euro-dollar project, to be built with the aid of a grant from the European Democracy Budget, will house all 400 MPs in state-of-the-art comfort. The decision to move Britain's political capital, and turn the Westminster parliament into a major tourist attraction offering the 'democracy experience', came as part of the government's 'regionalisation' of all aspects of policy - giving more of a role to the English regions.
