LETTERS – Take a look at the calmer side

I am writing about national politics because we are in the run-up to a General Election.
Yet again I have heard someone on the radio complaining about the rowdy, rude way in which politicians seem to behave towards one another but she was referring to that short time of Prime Minister’s Questions.
If she, and everyone else, were to look at channel 232, BBC Parliament, for just a few minutes a day, they would see the steady un-rowdy face of Parliament.
Sometimes they show the House of Commons, sometimes the House of Lords and sometimes committees at work.
I don’t look at 232 very often but it shows the calm side of Parliament.
It gives me a better impression of MPs than the Wednesday bear-garden, which is usually the only part which is shown to us on news programmes.
