I have seen Scottish comedian Danny Bhoy's sketch about the Italian parliament many times. The country has had literally thirty-eight governments since the Second World War and the government can't get its act together at all; which is apparently due to the numerous brawls the politicians have during session.
I found out recently that it's not just Italian politicians who are quite literally at each others throats. The same problem is going on in Bolivia, India, Somalia, the Ukraine, Korea, Taiwan, a whole bunch of countries have the politicians brawling during session. What the kriff is going on with them? They make our own Congress look tame.
If anyone has an answer, please let me know.
I think the brawling is overstated. He's a comedian, not a reporter.
