To make MPs behave in a civilised manner when in parliament.

What the petition asks
MPs represent us, our country. They are highly educated and are responsible for the running of the country - why are they allowed to act like imbeciles in their work place ? The speaker should be forced to eject anyone that can't act with respect to his fellow MPs
This is not aimed at any particular party - all parties have done this for time immemorial, but it doesn't mean it's correct behaviour.
Sign this and let's try to make MPs act decently (they don't seem to want to do it without a nudge)
