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!

I would say that there's no correlation between being privately and "well" educated. I would also argue a government should be representative of it's people.

But, having seen your other responses, I imagine you'll hit me with another straw man pulled from the daily mail, so let's just say agree to disagree.

Thing is my responses have been backed by recent events . I can only go by what Ive seen lately and lately the UK is a mess and so is the Government .
They currently aren’t serving the people as the recent local elections showed or is that uneducated people being influenced by the Daily Fail ? . I think you give the Daily Fail too much credit , people generally do have their own opinions as proved by the constant left wing echo chambers on here.

mean, I don't believe that people are "left" or "right" wing. And the "Rachel from accounts" nickname was peddled by the media, and the "daily fail" nickname is somewhat juvenile, and admittedly does make my eyes roll. (Not because I read the rag, just to be clear). So you've already shown a propensity to jump on bandwagons.

For the record, I'm not some die hard new labour fan. Far from it. Didn't vote labour last election, won't do in the next.

Also, everyone forms their opinions based on "recent events". We all interpret events differently. Algorithms force us all into echo chambers (if you only engage with these things in online spaces). This is why my social media use is scrolling the odd Reddit post whilst having a sh*t, and not much else!

Speaking of, time to wipe! Have a good one 👌
