When I was in school we had to watch a documentary on our election process in Canada which included an interview with the speaker for the house of commons. He was fairly unique at the time because instead of screaming for order like his predecessors he would just keep calmly asking for it and not continue until things settled down. His rationale was that if he’s yelling at them, that’s just more yelling that teaches people it’s okay to yell. He made a remark something along the lines of “you’d be surprised how many techniques for raising children carry over to adulthood.”

Anyway seeing how our government was operated by a bunch of screaming (elderly white) men acting like toddlers was really an eye-opening experience about governance.
