Lawmakers Turn Lawbreaker: World's Worst Parliamentary Clashes


South Korea, 2010:
The scrums, blockades and fights that usually takes place in the Korean National Assembly over the years are often referred to as the “yearly budget brawl.” Most of the time the parliament lacks method for opposition parties to slow down legislation they don’t agree to pass it. While deciding any bill, the opposition party lawmakers simply cast their votes and let the ruling party take responsibility for good or bad legislation. But if the opposition or the ruling parties disagree then they resort to fights by physically controlling the chamber where the vote takes place.

Sri-Lanka, 2011:
The spat between the Sri-Lankan ruling party and opposition party legislators started when some opposition MPs displayed placards saying "shame" in the House floor when President started presenting the 2012 budget to the parliament. One of the legislators accused the opposition party of deliberately instigating an incident to create havoc in front of the invited foreign diplomats in the gallery. The Minister said, "It was their premeditated plan to disrupt the presentation of the budget," reports Colombo Page.
