Guess its not only in Nigeria that there are lawless lawmakers.... Japan
has followed suit... There were chaotic scenes in the Japanese
parliament this morning as politicians punched, pushed and shoved one
another during the hearing of a bill that could see the country abandon
70 years of pacifism.
Opposition lawmakers piled on top of one another during the mass brawl,
with some trying to grab the committee chairman's microphone to prevent
him calling a vote on the controversial bill. A senior opposition leader
later said they would not accept the vote, which happened without them
knowing.
If passed, the bill will allow Japanese troops to defend their allies
oversees even if Japan itself isn't under attack. Currently article nine
of Japan's constitution - which came into force after the Second World
War - outlaws war as a means to settle international disputes involving
the state.
