Challenge the appalling behaviour in the chamber.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Most recently displayed during the Chancellor's Budget delivery, the jeering, bawling and throwing of snide remarks is completely unacceptable anywhere else in our professional society. The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner and Committee should modernise the chamber and eliminate such behaviour.

Our constitution and democracy has been fundamental to the success of our country over centuries. However, this unnecessary, boisterous behaviour is outdated, rude, unprofessional and unacceptable in our modern world. Furthermore, the pantomime antics divert from crucial business of running our country - the primary accountability of Government, with the opposition holding to account. This type of conduct is unnecessary for either party to deliver these functions.

Why it was rejected

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

These actions are already against the rules of conduct in the House. It is for the Speaker/Deputy Speakers to enforce.
