I have a gut feeling some of the same villians would still remain on top, due to their cruelty. Poison darts squirreled away, little canisters of nerve gas to be used at the appropriate time, etc. Orrin Hatch and Mitch McConnell may seem frail, but they’re damned ruthless.

I noticed that too. Most dignified moment in the video.
There certainly are mornings I feel like I’ve been hit on the head with a chair by an Ugandan MP

For the record, and FWIW, Bill Gates loves Uganda’s president.
Did nobody try to use the mace in the brawl?
Heseltine was Shadow Industry Secretary throughout the Conservative’s 1974–79 time in opposition gaining notoriety following a 1976 incident in the House of Commons during the debate on measures introduced by the Labour government to nationalise the shipbuilding and aerospace industries. In the days before television’s broadcasting of proceedings in Parliament, accounts of exactly what happened vary but the most vivid image portrayed Heseltine seizing the Mace and brandishing it towards Labour left-wingers who were celebrating having won the vote and singing The Red Flag. The Speaker suspended the sitting.
As @L0ki points out, Hansard didn’t report on it much.
