    Normally the UK isn’t really an example to be followed, but knock-down-drag-out brawls are probably pretty healthy for society in general. Less decorum nonsense, more punching Nazis.

          Your comment is very strange given that in just the last two weeks the UK has implemented some extremely authoritarian rights-stripping policies.

            Yeah, that’s why i said the uk isn’t normally a role model. That’s literally the first thing i said, even.

              But UK is NOT doing that. Which is why everyone is confused why you’d bring it up in a conversation about NZ.

                The UK is famous for it’s parliament breaking out into fights, what are you talking about?

                  What are you talking about? I’ve been keenly following UK politics for about 15 years now and can’t think of any examples off the top of my head.

                  John Prescott got a reputation but that’s because someone threw an egg at him in the street so he punched the guy. Other than that I can’t think of any famous examples of politicians fighting.
