Person Compares The Danish Parliament To The US Congress, Illustrates How Different These Two Are

 In 2021, only 25% of Americans approve of the way Congress is handling its job (71% disapprove of it and 4% have no opinion). To say the country isn’t happy with its legislature would be an understatement.

So the question is, how can it improve?

Michael Grunwald, a senior staff writer for POLITICO Magazine and editor-at-large of The Agenda, tried to answer it by comparing Congress to the Danish Parliament.

Grunwald turned to Twitter to describe an obscure hearing he had the pleasure to be a part of while visiting the Nordic country, and it becomes obvious pretty early on in his thread that the US could really learn a lot from it.
