Brown dodges more questions

[Jordy]

Gordon Brown has once again dodged another session of Prime Ministers Questions. The statistics speak for themselves they really do.

He has missed over 10% of the weekly Prime Minister's Questions while Tony Blair was on just 5%. Also bare in mind that during Major's and Thatcher's parliaments, they had two sessions a week so their percentages look worse than they actually are.

Funnily enough when Brown was leading the polls he always attended though? The coward should get out there and answer some damn questions about why this country is in such a mess, how can we continue having someone like this as prime minister?

To add to that, back when gaining office in 1997 Tony Blair changed the PMQs rules so that only set questions were allowed (so he was sent any questions that were due to be asked before PMQs so he could prepare for them), in other words get his spin doctors to cook up a reply which does everything but answer the question.

The current speaker Bercow is meant to be particularly bad too, from what I've seen and heard, he never presses Brown to answer questions if he goes off the point or dodges them.

We'd respect him more if we told him the truth. Well I would but technically I can't vote so who gives a crap about younger years.
