Member of Taiwan's Parliament Stole a Bill and Ran Off to Prevent it from Being Passed

Days before President-elect Lai Ching-te takes office without a parliamentary majority, lawmakers in Taiwan pushed, tackled, and struck one another in parliament on Friday in a fierce disagreement over reforms to the chamber.
Before the action ever reached the parliament floor, some legislators were shoving and screaming at one another outside the legislative chamber before any votes were even cast.
If that's not crazy enough, Ruling DPP member- in an effort to prevent the bill from passing- snatched the voting papers and ran off with it.
Although Lai, who will take office on Monday, won the January election, his Democratic Progressive Party saw a decline in its parliamentary majority.
The primary opposition party, the Kuomintang, has been collaborating with the smaller Taiwan People’s Party to advance their shared ideologies as it has more seats than the DPP but not enough to establish a majority on its own.
