There has never ever been civility in democratic politics where all sides get together decide on the best course of action and execute it.
Even during peace time you're fighting a war.
Even between elections you're fighting the next election.
The only time that you see so called civility in politics is during a majority government because you need to curry to the majority government to get any of your motions passed.
In a minority government you're always going to see what you are seeing now.
The government in power is angling for a majority, the opposition government showing that they're an effective opposition and fighting everything good bad and ugly.
If you want civility in government give the prime minister a gun and the abiltiy to arrest dissentors.
