Politicians too rude, survey finds

The majority of people have found the behaviour of MPs during parliamentary meetings increasingly intolerable, a new poll shows.

The Abac Poll finds that 67% are getting frustrated with verbal aggression and proxy voting while 32% said that it was bearable.

Meanwhile, 75% said they are disappointed MPs resorted to proxy voting in parliamentary meetings with 24% responding the act is so frequent it is becoming common practice. 

According to the poll, 89% want MPs to react with more courtesy and civility towards one another while 10% feel that MPs are well behaved.

The survey was conducted on Sept 25-27 with 1,873 respondents, in Bangkok and large provinces including Songkhla, Khon Kaen, Chon Buri and Chiang Mai.
