I believe you are describing our very own Parliament and it's not surprising given what's been happening lately. And people wonder why voter turnout is low.

I've sat in the gallery before and it's no better than watching it on TV. It generally degrades into a shouting match to see who can be the loudest and most obnoxious. But this happens in other governments around the world with similar parliamentary structures too. I guess it's built in to the system.
Maybe so, but I think that we have to give the speaker of the house more power. If someone raises their voice, kick them out, if someone talks out of turn kick them out..
I hate to say it but maybe we need to get one of those old elementary school teachers in there. They always had a way to control the class
QP is not the only part of the day on the Hill, and should not be seen as the only thing they do...
