translate English to French: I believe that the biggest problem that most modern governments face — and I have watched this consistently now for a couple of generations — is that, for the most part, ministers and prime ministers know very little about Parliament.
les premiers ministres et les ministres, en majorite´ , ne comprennent ´ pas grand-chose au Parlement. La plupart des difficultes auxquelles se heurtent les premiers ministres et leurs Cabinets s’expliquent par ´ ` leurs connaissances limitees du Parlement.
