Stop MP's from booing and jeering during question time, fine those that still do

What the petition asks

MP's are supposed to be well paid professionals but their behaviour in the house of commons would not be acceptable in a classroom let alone a professional meeting. They are supposed to be there to run the country not have fun behaving badly.
My suggestion is that anything other than polite and controlled behaviour be met with a ban without pay and a fine. The ban needs to be served in the hoses of commons, just not actually in the debate. The fine is £500 for the first offence committed by a party and it is doubled each time. The ban starts at a day and then is doubled each time. So the 4th MP from that party would get a £4000 fine and be banned for 8 days without pay.
