Make it compulsory for MPs to show respect to one another.
During PM's Question Time on Wednesday 20th July, the lack of respect shown by the Prime Minister to the Leader of the Opposition reached a shocking pitch. It is time that a regulatory system was put in place to prevent personal attacks and jeering from taking place unchecked.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. It's clear that you are concerned about the conduct of Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons. However, it is not clear what action you would like to be taken to change this. You could start a new petition calling for a specific reform.
The House of Commons already has a Code of Conduct:

If you would like this Code to be changed, to include new rules about behaviour in the Chamber, you could start a new petition explaining clearly what new rules you would like to be added.
