Reform the House of Commons - this ridiculous childish posturing has got to stop

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Living in relative comfort to most of society, men sitting in the House of Commons are literally making 'your mum' jokes while millions suffer. This is OUR parliament. We PAY YOU, A LOT to be there.

Do your job :

1. Answer the questions.
2. Don't lie.
3. Refrain from personal attacks.

As a mature democracy, Britiain deserves and requires real debate, designed to address problems and solve issues.

Our Prime Minister avoids questions and resorts to schoolyard bullying tactics when he needs to accept and actually address the matters raised - the point of PMQs and his job.

Personal insults have no place in debate. There are very real, very pressing issues facing our country. If those in Government are unwilling to even discuss these issues, then we need to find someone who is.

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.
