RE: Neither high nor low - stay where you are.

I watched the video with auto translation to English subtitles - but their expressions said it all. They were enjoying the banter with another. These days, at least in Australia political opposition is exactly just that. If side A proposes that they they're going to do something, side B must object because they are "the opposition".
There is no consideration if it is actually a good fucking idea - and obstructionist politics goes to a crazy new level, and nothing of substance gets done. Instead we'll see some chaos come about along the line, with complex legislation (where the parties do agree on something) that is not well thought out, or serves to obstruct progress (not in Industry though, can't have that!)
There is a brilliant Australian comedy - one of them now dead - that I think, on the basis that the banter that these two politicians had, would be something you would enjoy very much. They speak much like politicians, and it is satirical.
Now every time you hear any Australian say "The front fell off", you will know it came from this.
The AfD can't really obstruct yet, thanks to our multi-party system. For now. But they can still take up speech time and use the parliament system for their own agenda that aims to undermine democracy as we know it. But I've seen the obstructions a lot these days. It's not for the good of the people anymore, nor the good of the country, it's only for power and votes, and those votes are easier manipulated than informed.
That video is hilarious. I'll see if I can work "The front fell off." into my selection of satirical comments. But noone might get it, not many Australians here. I'll try them out, though. I'll also send it to a friend. He'll love it, too.
The unrest in Nepal might just be the beginning :) Can't have parliament if the building is ashes :P
Interesting. I didn't know that was going on. Made me realize I have almost no knowledge about Nepal.
