Who or what is PMQs for?
By Emma.
PMQs is an awkward, lumbering beast; a hangover from the debating societies of Oxford and Cambridge which seems like an anachronism in the modern age. An unrealistic way of gaining or exchanging information, it has become instead a way of doing politics exclusively reserved for the Westminster Village. The public don’t understand it, and hate what they see of it. It’s politics at its most knockabout, most tribal and most insular.
