Next they will be sitting in the Speaker's chair. Aren't these newbies to parliament taught parliamentary protocol and etiquette?

You must FIRST explain to them, "What is Etiquette!??" They must perceive, it as0 “HETTIYAGE WASTHUWA”!!?? They will with natural instinct go for the ‘Buriya’ or the ‘KNOT’ of the white Sarong!!?? We have a long way to Traverse, Gain Traction on that, thanks with piety to SWRDB and ‘Sinhala Maha Sabha’, in initiating 1956 revolution; Also the perception the Parliament and Government is OWNED by them; None Else!!?? ‘MARKET PLACE CHANDIYAS’, and THEY AREN’T ALONE, TRAVEL 17K MILES WESTWARDS, diversely emancipated Persona, who happens be attending church services post inauguration – as Leader of “DEMOCRATIC LEADER OF FREE WORLD”, who questions. sanity of Her Eminence the BISHOP – and her address to Congregation and directed in particular at this so-called LEADER TO HAVE MERCY as per the gospel; Lo and behold the bishop is directed on TRUTH SOCIAL to withdraw the “Speech in TOTO” and apologise!? Murder threats commenced since!! SL MP's are well behaved!?

They are not career politicians like RW (both senior and junior), MR clan, SP etc. It will take some time for the new bees so spare your rod.
