Whether you agree with the man politically, I think he hits on some issues that are majorly messed up.

If you just don't care ... Its kind of humorous to watch the people around him.
He's just trying to bring the usually boring spectacle of governing body politics in line with some of the parliaments of the rest of the world... some places have governing members that throw stuff, knock furniture over and some have what might as well be UFC matches on their floor.

Governments in third worlds like? Like how they kill each other and riot at their soccer games sometimes? Yeah, no, we want to be a little more civilized than that, don't we?

Ukraine is at least second world and they had a pretty good parliament battle just a couple of years ago. Taiwan too and they've had some humdinger sessions. South Korea is considered first world and had a nice row a few years ago... lots injured and one hospitalized. 'More civilized' just means the clothes that get ruined in a fight are more expensive.

Regarding soccer riots and deaths therein, England is about as first world as countries get and that's where that big soccer riot that killed around 100 people happened.
