Even if the claims are true, it's still "big whoop".  When your choices for parliamentarians are between conservative hardliners and batshit-insane hardliners, that's not saying much.

Sorry I should resist but after more than a few beers, can you explain the difference from this situation and the Democrats and Republicans in the USA?

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,

Good things come to those who wait?
