Make all MP's act like adults instead of 9 year old's in the House of Commons

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

MP's are elected representives of the British taxpayer & they must act accordingly. Their behaviour in the House of Commons is deplorable. Measures must be put in place to ensure they behave like adults whilst discussing important issues that are effecting every person they are paid to represent.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. It is clear that this issue of MPs' behaviour concerns you, however your petition does not explain what action you would like to be taken to address this.

You might be interested in signing the following petitions on penalising MPs and for MPs to behave in a professional manner: Penalise any MP who jeers or shouts during a speech by any other MP.
Behave in a professional manner during PMQs.

Or you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like to happen.
