Like cats and dogs, they tease and claw each other. Once in a while, there is bloody wrestling. Such are the relations between President Abdurrahman Wahid and the House of Representatives (DPR) lately this year.

But, in a common democratic context, such animosity is just a form of positive mutual control.
