Rejected petition Stop antisocial behaviour during parliamentary debates

The practice of jeering and chanting to drown out democratic debate is the uncivilised and embarrassing to modern society. It show a gross lack of respect of differing points of view and intolerable contempt for every citizen of this country. Our parliament should be a place of respectful debate

More details

The outburst of chanting against Jeremy Corbyn would be equally unacceptable whoever is in power. However it has reached a point where it is democracy itself that is being downed out. This behaviour would be illegal outside of parliament therefore why is it tolerated inside?
