diet of japan
Members of British Parliament don't hesitate to step on members toes — they'll insult and ridicule each other. Very entertaining to watch and you have my personal recommendation to stop at C-SPAN.
But have you seen the Diet of Japan? Watching their political discussions in high school left a lasting impression. Legislators, as I recall, practically beat each other up. You haven't lived until you've seen Japanese Parliament.
P.S. If you know where I can get my Diet proceedings viewing fix, please fill me in. I imagine webcasts exist at the House of Councillors and Representatives sites — if only I knew Japanese...
