tbf most of the parliamentary debate isnt really like that, if you watch bbc parliament its mostly just dry speeches and questions

the table slapping and cheering and jeering is mostly used for things like pmqs or an event (like the no confident vote) where they know a lot of the public will be watching. its kind of show offy, but is there to give a public support of the prime minister by the backbenchers when he or she is in trouble, or to try and get the public on their side by making themselves look strong and the opposition look weak. but i agree its silly and i dont think anyone really buys it
