Not having a real budget is just a parliamentary procedure tactic, creating pressure opportunities when various continuing resolutions come up. If they have to make a budget they’ll make one, that doesn’t mean they’ll actually stop being partisan fools and put together a good one. It'll still be subject to all the usual nonsense.

Yep. The US has had several years without a budget, and it meant exactly nothing.
Sort of like the debt limit, it leads to a lot of political maneuvering but doesn't actually limit anything.
