I think that’s irrelevant, it shows you exactly the personalities of these people. Not scripted speeches (although they are mostly pre-prepared sadly) so we get to see what they’re actually like. You never get that at conferences or press releases. If you’re not paying attention to the cut and thrust of politics, get the fuck out of the polling booth. Otherwise you’re probably just voting for your parent’s party or the one with the nicest hat.
How does paying attention influence your own voting? Your posting here suggests you would never vote Labour no matter what their policies, and you’d side with the Tories if the devil himself was in charge
Based on things I’ve previously read, watching PMQs is more likely to result in voter apathy than helping them make up their mind. And for those who’ve already made up their mind, it sure as shit isn’t going to change it.
My missus has had glaucoma for years.
She had every drop available and none stopped her eye pressures rising.
She’s had trabeculotomy procedures in both eyes.
The right one worked, the left one didn’t.
She’s had several ‘needlings’ to help the left eye procedure work, no success.
Finally had an aqueous shunt implanted.
But, in the words of her consultant, Covid has stolen your vision.
If regular 3 monthly follow up appointments had been available, they’d have taken the decision to operate before the condition deteriorated as much as it did.
She’s now had to surrender her driving licence as she can’t meet the eyesight requirements.
Exactly. If you think politicians are out-of-touch buffoons, then watching their half-pissed guffawing and smug grinning is likely to put you right off voting
Has to be said they do work hard though, well some of them anyway.
Sunak went from PMQs to addressing a big audience in Belfast this afternoon. Admittedly it was a decent speech and went down well with the crowd who mostly detest the Tories. I was sitting beside Dominic Grieve.
