what I don't understand, is if the questions are so important, and the leaders nearly always have answers, why do we need the spectacle of them all yabooing at each other?
It's clear these things are more complicated than "back bench asks question, PM makes decision there live." So it all seems like a farce.

Tradition, innit?
Besides, take away PMQs and politicians would have to shout at strangers down at Speakers' Corner.

at least that way they might get punched in the face a bit more.

I'm on board with this plan.
They should take PMQs on tour, just turn up in any town centre and get on with it.

'tradition' is the last defence of something that probably shouldn't happen.
Like fox hunting and that thing the Spanish do with bulls whose name has temporarily vacated my head.

Half of it seems to be a sort of a moral boost for the party members.
The rest is getting it on record, getting yourself on TV and either kicking or sucking up to the PM depending on which side you're on.

I reckon there have got to be less degrading ways of doing it though.

they should make it more degrading
you can only raise a question if you soil and debase yourself at the foot of the Speaker's chair

They should use the gunge tank like they did on Noel's house party.
And they could do that bit where the kids embarrass the parents and get an Amiga, but instead of an Amiga, it's a law passed.
