All this discussion of Congressional decorum will seem quaint to people in…just about anywhere else.  Forget the harsh questioning the British PM is subjected to-parliamentarians around the world routinely behave  like Jerry Springer guests. In 1972, an MP punched the Home Secretary during a debate over Bloody Sunday.  To find such a ruckus in Congress, you’d have to go back to 1856
or 1798.

Mexico's is pretty cool because the parties actually do stunts as well as fights. I remember when the discussion came up on what to do about PEMEX (the Mexican state oil company), and the PRD actually encapsulated the podium with their people under a flag as a sit-in to prevent voting on it.
Bonobos must have "parliaments" too: I see a lot of similarity.
A few years ago a fight in the Somalian Parliament in exile featured one of the MPs using a chair as a weapon.
Parliaments: Lots of heckling and no decorum, but you will get kicked out for calling someone a "liar"
