@Pepijn I mean for Russia, the USA or Canada to visit the /national/ one may be a bit of a push. But if you allow for state/provincial/regional parliaments and such, it becomes a lot more common even there. — Violet

@helle @Pepijn especially when the national legislature is based on an extreme edge of the country (and, for my experience, related to that: I've been to the outside of the US Capitol once, late at night, a group of friends was meeting with a member of the group who was working on a security system there. another member of the group took a drunken piss on the grounds, because, why not? the snipers that were watching us did nothing.) speaking of which, should non-Europeans vote in this poll?

@helle @Pepijn The Canadian federal parliament is relatively easy; I was milling around outside when when a tour guide asked if we wanted to take a tour, and so we got to go in. That was before the construction started, to be fair. But yeah, it's way more common in the US to visit state capitols, and you're way more likely to meet a legislator that way.
