Lawmaking: The process of drafting and passing a law through parliament for the public good.
Boremaking: The process of arguing at tedious length in favour of a new law about to be introduced, to the extent that you bore your listeners to sleep. Then you pass whatever law you want and nobody worries.
Filibustering: Delaying normal parliamentary process by speaking for as long as you like on an unimportant topic.
Sillyflustering: Speaking for as long as you like on absolutely meaningless topics, for no reason at all.

Got any blahfinitions of your own?

I'm surprised that politics makes sense to anybody.
