What the petition asks
I'm heartily fed up of being embarrassed by our MPs behaving like schoolchildren by booing, jeering at and laughing at speakers in the Commons. They should remember that they represent others, and should be banned from the Commons without pay or expenses for such unacceptable behaviour.
