To: Jeremy Corbyn
Boycott PMQs
We call upon Jermyn Corbyn to lead the Labour party in a permanent boycott of Prime Minister's Question Time.
Why is this important?
This event is one of the causes of the lack of regard for politics in general amongst the electorate as it is so clearly nothing more than a public schoolboys’ shouting match.
Its purpose is supposed to be holding the government to account but it singularly fails to do this and nothing positive ever comes from it that could not be achieved through alternative means.
All Labour MPs (except individual backbenchers with genuine constituency based questions) should refuse to attend this brouhaha - returning to the chamber for any item that involves a vote.
This would be a powerful strategy to move towards the better/different/more grown-up politics that Jeremy Corbyn advocates.
