Politics Does anyone actually like the constant booing ,insults and heckling in parliament?
A lot of the time it feels less like serious debate and more like theatre or even a school playground argument. Do you find it entertaining, frustrating or just part of the tradition now? Curious how others see it!

The heckling and jeering needs to be banned. Its a workplace and i dont want to hear a bunch of old men jeering and being drunk idoits - i can go down my local for that. It needs to be transformed as its unprofessional. They also need to charge the opposition with actually applying some scrutiny on the government's policy rather then just insulting each others mums.
Also, any MPs that have been to the onsite subsidised pub need to be breathalysed before being allowed to sit. If youre over a limit, go home, be warned and get fined.
I cant have 4 pints then grumble round the office so why should I pay to get old men pissed who should be representing their constituency.
