Reform and Modernise parliament debating and voting systems
In recent time, the house of commons has resembled a mob mentality of shouting and booing where debate should exist. The speaker has limited control except to call for order and to sanction MPs after the case. With the house being refurbished, is it not time for our politics to be brought up too?
I watched the debate following the indicative vote in horror of what our politic has become. MPs were unable to speak (or be heard) as the chamber was filled with the noise of others expressing their opinions over one another.
It is like this for PMQs and every large debate. It is like listening to toddlers.
We deserve better. We deserve MPs to be held to account when they stop debate. We deserve opinion to be expressed quickly and debate moved on. We deserve debate, not a bear pit.
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:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand you want to change the way debates and votes happen in Parliament, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like to happen.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
