Hold our PMQs to higher moral standards

What the petition asks

On the 24/02/15 during prime minister's question time: the behaviour from both sides of the parliament including the PM was atrocious.

The prime minister said his mother would ask the Labour leader to "put on a proper suit, do up your tie and sing the national anthem".

This kind of childish and bullying behaviour has no role in politics. Cameron should apologise to Labour leader Corbyn for such a personal insult.

Furthermore the speaker should revisit the codes of conduct with in PMQs with all parties in the houses of parliament.

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 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.
