Change the Seating Plan
The reason we have the government side separated from the opposition is simply to prevent violence. The sides in the British house are apparently two sword lengths apart for the obvious reason that swords mixed with tempers was considered a bad idea. Today I doubt anyone expects the HoC to devolve into a Taiwanese style brawl. I think that if we want to make the various parties work together in more collegial style then we shouldn't seat by party. I think we should seat the leaders together and then randomly seat everyone else. I think it would be a lot harder to act like an ass, to heckle, or to ask truly stupid questions, when you aren't surrounded by your own partisans.
