1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I already were at another conference

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and know you can listen to a moderation

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
how it would be done professionally

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
<i>laughter</i>

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You have to image myself in a suit or sth like that

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
For sure, everyone knows,

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that it is the goal of "big politics"

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to create majorities.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
For creating majorities, it is important to

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
stay so vague in saying stuff,

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
such that as many as possible agree with the said.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The "saying nothing professional" was

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
brought to an artform by "big politics"

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
during the centuries.

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So it is understandable, that the

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"nothing sayers" in the

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
parliaments of the world have to get rid

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the frustration about

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the meaninglessness of their own doing.

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There are multiple ways for doing this;

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
today we want to look at the most spectacular way.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And so I'm glad to present the talk from

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Joachim Schautenbach and Pia Fortunata

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"A small history of parliament fights"

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So many words, but it is so easy

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Everyone of us is annoyed

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for at least 3 years.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We have to blow steam!

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Today we have a look at

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
parlamentarians giving themselves a

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
proper licking.

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
<i>applause</i>

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Welcome to "a small history of parliament fights"

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You all know the problem

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
parliaments are most of time

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
quiet boring

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and action is not a regular thing

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the Bundestag.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Because of this we had a look at some

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
other parliaments a few years ago

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and were surprised about the possible.

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Such a parliament fight is not

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
extraordinary democratic, but

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
can produce pictures of artistic value.

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sometimes in golden ratio

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and sometimes not

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And from that interest, the worldwide only

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
expert blog about parliament fights arose.

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Which we keep for six years now.

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is our blog,

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the domain is written in the program

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we can repeat that at the end

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We collected about 90 parliament fights

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on that blog in the last six years

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The last one is a week ago

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in Kenia

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and we try on a short summary.

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
First of all about the theory:

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The history of parliament fights.

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The encyclopedic collective term is

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Legislative violence

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What's funny about that

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You can read that on wikipedia

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The history of legislative violence

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
dates back until the

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
murder of Julius Ceasar

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
44 BC in the senate of Rome

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The big question is

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
why is there violence in parliaments

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
one of the few scientists

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who got deeply engaged with the topic

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is Christopher Gandrud

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who wrote a PhD theory about the topic

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and a few other publications

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ho considers the following factors

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
important for the rising

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of a parliament fight.

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If political parties are underrepresented

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
happening e.g. through

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
first-past-the-post systems

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or high percentage hurdles

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
therefore the voting system does'nt

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
map the real voting results well

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Another important factor is

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the democracy is quite young

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The younger the democracy

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the higher the propability

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of violence in the parliament

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Gandroud put the in a nice picture

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the contrast

91
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
more contrast

92
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
okay anyway

93
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
much depends on how old is a democracy

94
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Another factor is the

95
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ethnical, political and religious

96
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
division of the society

97
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The more division the more fights

98
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and furthermore he fund out

99
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the parliament fights happen more often

100
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the forefront of actual wars

101
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and civil wars

102
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One phase of great legislative violence

103
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was the prewar time of the

104
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
american civil war

105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
where parliamentists were stabbed

106
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and challenged each other to duel

107
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or one beat another to near death

108
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with a stick

109
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
happened 1864 in the eve of civil war

110
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the US congress

111
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as the democrat brucks

112
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
bate the repuclian sander to near death

113
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
after the...

114
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
bullshit

115
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
after Sander hold a speech against slavery

116
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the congress, after that he got a

117
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
decent beating.

118
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from germany we found

119
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
just a single example

120
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
1950 the formerly NSDAP member

121
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wolfgang Regler which also was

122
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a representative in post war germany

123
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was noticed for being a antisemite

124
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and right wing extremist

125
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was suspended from the Bundestag for a

126
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
short time

127
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
got back despite his suspension

128
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and then got thrown out

129
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the building

130
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
by social democrats

131
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
<i>applause</i>

132
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
during his forced exit, he fell through

133
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a glass door and down the stairs

134
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
<i>laughter</i>

135
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
After the second world war

136
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
itlay was leading for a while

137
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There are even books about the conflicts

138
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in italian parlaments. One is called

139
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"tumulti in aula"

140
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Until today, there occasionally happen

141
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
parliament fights in italy.

142
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let's got to the episode

143
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Where do the fights happen?"

144
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is our tag cloud

145
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on our blog showing the countries

146
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
where we found parliament fights

147
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Of course this is'nt representative

148
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like the PhD thesis of Gandrud

149
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He did a map showing all the fights from

150
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
1981 to 2012

151
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is still not enough contrast

152
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
at least on the monitor

153
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In this period, there were 131 fights

154
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in parliaments

155
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Leading are the ucraine, turkey and cosovo

156
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which still might be on the opt

157
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Italy is still bit influenced by its past

158
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Since the fall of USSR

159
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
russia got quieter

160
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The question

161
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wo fights

162
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Parliamentary violence

163
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is done mostly by men

164
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
<i>laughter</i>

165
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Women are more active

166
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
than in playing football
