South Korean parliament descends into mass brawl

South Korea's politicians descended into a large scale brawl, building a furniture blockade as the government pushed through the 2011 budget.

12:03PM GMT 08 Dec 2010

The 2011 budget will be 309.1 trillion won (£174 billion), slightly smaller than the 309.6 trillion won proposed by the government, the Finance Ministry said in a statement, although it is about six per cent per cent more than this year's budget of 292.8 trillion won.

The defence budget was increased to 31.4 trillion won after North Korea shelled a South Korean island last month, triggering a tense standoff that has drawn in the United States and China. Calling government members of parliament "lapdogs", opposition members from the Democratic Party blockaded parliament offices and the main hall for a second day and parliamentary guards were brought in to restore order.

Looks like “shirts” vs “skins” LOL, at least you could tell who was who by what they were wearing.

I much preferred the old brawls in Taiwan’s parliament involving the 80+ year-old KT legislators for life ramming each other with their wheel chairs and trying to snatch each others’ oxygen bottles.

They’ve all died off but it sure was fun watching those geezers get it on with each other.

Hmmm...

Would Olympia Snowe be a draggor or a draggee?

Should we send them copies of “Roberts’ Rules of Order,” or just relax and enjoy the show?
