Prohibit MPs from booing and jeering during parliamentary proceedings

Petition Details

During Commons debate and PMQs, the boorish jeering of MPs shifts focus away from the substance of the argument, we would like this to stop. Our elected representatives shouldn't be exhibiting behaviour that many voters wouldn't allow from their children.

Additional Information

One positive outcome of the corona virus social distancing measures has been that the voting public has received a window into a civilised parliament. Commons debate isn't a football match, wrestling or reality TV show, it's making life and death decisions on public life and this should be reflected in the behaviour of MPs.
