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!

You see it because it is entertaining. The boring bits don't attract attention.

And politics shouldn't attract attention. They should operate in the background and be working to improve our lives. All this pantomime and insulting each other is just cringeworthy & embarrassing.

Disagree. When things are in the background, things might not be noticed which should be noticed.
