Tell Parliament to debate important issues in a reasonable, adult manner.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

I represent the silent moderate majority. We accuse half the world of extremism - when we are extreme ourselves. Parliament is degrading into an episode of Big Brother. Get a grip. Parliament is SERIOUS business, not a playground or a celebrity show.

Why it was rejected

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

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like Parliament to do. For example, you could ask for a specific change to the rules of parliamentary debate.
