The calm narration of the reporter really lets this piece shine for me. I need that man to narrate my morning routine, when I try to get ready in the morning …

I like that look: black suit, red tie, red fez.

I wonder how it’ll be written up in Hansard? (Parliamentary record.)
It’s the guy that jumps up on the table and busts out his Michael Jackson moves that gets me.

A somewhat strange form of cardio. First time I’ve seen a mike stand used as a weapon. Much more serious than a cue stick, also much less likely to break.
Judging by Hansard, something like this:

“Grave disorder having arisen, the Speaker suspended the sitting”.
Rather anodyne and no help at all in working out what actually happened.

Even more impressive is the tabletop spin move at 3:14 as pointed out by Trevor Noah. Oh yeah, it’s on now.

Lightweights. Lightweights the lot of them. They need to take inspiration from the great democratic tradition of the US. Now there were some fights… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislative_violence#United_States
Okay, you no longer have at each other with hickory sticks, pokers, tongs, and knives. But you set the standard.

There have been recent fights in the South Korean parliament (past 20+ years) and recently in the Ukrainian parliament. I am sure that no one was picking a fight with Vitali Klitschko, who was a Ukrainian MP until recently.

Personally, I’d be ok if we implemented a Thunderdome style of legislation.
