Oh my.. not a good look for members of parliament to be throwing punches at each other.

Will any of them be charged with assault?

At least this makes politics interesting for a change.

They should do this in the British parliament every once in a while instead of all those Eton batty boys swinging their handbags and all that jeering.

Democracy in action.

At least it proves they give a crap. Madverts mentioned the Eton botty boys playing their jolly wheezes and with them others who spend the time they bother to turn up checking if the bar is open or what time they can swan off to their boardrooms/mistresses/prostitutes/rent-boys/Ascot.

When will Japan learn from TAIWAN?? Here in Japan we need people to really stand up to the thugs in the Nuke industry! (Tepco etc..)

We should do this in the states. I'd love Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell duke it out.

South Korea's assembly scuffles are the best but Taiwan comes close.

It's an affront to the democratic governance of a nation for the representatives to lower themselves to an unruly mob.

Might doesn't = right, but hey... don't let the lack of diplomacy and democratic procedures stop you.

Pathetic bunch of immature schoolboys. Some countries, you feel, will just never understand democracy. Sadly it seems this reactionary, macho "governing" style is most prevalent in East Asia.

Maybe they're all practicing to appear on trash TV.

These people are great. You want people in power who are passionate about the country to rule it.
