WATCH: Member of Taiwan’s Parliament Steals Bill to Prevent Its Passage

Members of the Taiwanese legislature clashed in a chaotic brawl this week, resulting in members being tackled and hit, after a member attempted to steal a bill to prevent it from being passed.

Lawmakers were seen leaping over tables and pulling other colleagues to the floor, Reuters reported.

Watch:

The Kuomintang (KMT), the main opposition party, has been working alongside the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) to opposite the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which just recently elected a new president but lost control of parliament.

The new president, Lai Ching-te is expected to be inaugurated Monday after he won the election in January.

The country’s democratic party, DPP, says the groups are improperly trying to force through certain proposals without having a customary consultation process.

Lawmakers from all parties were part of the fighting that happened this week. They traded accusations about who was to blame about what happened, Reuters reported.

Lai, a Harvard graduate and member of the DPP, said the election was critical, because voters could be choosing between war and peace with China.
