    It changes from country to country. I some countries they even fight each other and throw stuff with no repercussions.

      Long ago, in the excellent scholarly work entitled Potty Politics, I read that the distance between the lines on the floor of the UK House of Commons, that separate the two parties, is just too wide for crossing swords.

      You’re right it does vary from country to country.

      However, I don’t personally think it does the process any good if thing can descend into playground insults or violence. I’m in favour of people being expelled if they can’t maintain a base level of behaviour.
