- Cyber-security is a pipe-dream: as soon as new safeguards are invented, new hacks are devised to circumvent them.
- The difficulty, if not impossibility or ascertaining the virtual identity of any person: you can trace the address, but you can't see the user.
- Even if you can see the user; that is, the parliamentarian is reqiured to sit before his web-cam while participating in a virtual session, video footage is too easy to fake now, and it will only become more technically adept.
- The entire can session can be faked. The parliamentary session may be taking place on one circuit, while an ill-wisher or usurper broadcasts a facsimile to the public and news media. They could dub in entire fake bills and the votes to pass them.
It doesn't need to be the Russians - though I didn't pluck the name out of prejudice; they have done something like this - it could be any enemy of a nation's democratic process.
The buildings already exist, and hold a certain amount of historical/social/emotional/cohesive significance for people. Those buildings represent continuity, security and stability.that doesn't need any expensive buildings and costs for cleaning and security.
Besides, tearing them down or repurposing them would be far more expenasive than maintenance.
Why would you want to turn a lot of people out of jobs?
cyber-block chaining showed us the way.
Well a simple usb-pad for fingerimprint identification and a web-cam for iris identification of the person together with an rfid chip card could clear the identity of the parliamentary user. Session in parliament can get faked too, people who don't come are assumed to be bystanders etc.
Besides the buildings are worth pure money and could get sold for monetary profit as well. Sold to hotel owners who would turn them to luxury hotels etc. A historical and emotional reason is in fact anti-social , because poor people are not in need of heroism and propaganda but in fact in social reactions. We shouldn't in our days overevaluate overcome antique ways of thinking.
