Rejected petition Introduce sanctions for MPs that jeer and shout in the House of Commons

There is no need for our politicians to jeer and heckle their colleagues in the House of Commons. It is childish, sets a bad example for how people should conduct themselves and cannot be conducive to making sound and rational decisions for the country. It is, quite frankly, embarrassing.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because there are already sanctions available to the Speaker and his deputies if MPs act in a disorderly way. These include being able to suspend MPs for a set period of time. We are therefore not sure what further action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
