RE: PMQs - Not electrifying?

Good afternoon,

This blog is a quick response to the responses about how Corbyn's approach to PMQ's is underwhelming/unambitious. The problem with trying to criticise Corbyn's approach to PMQs is that we find ourselves judging Corbyn on his ability to get an answer from David Cameron. David Cameron however is a notorious liar that told a mother on national t.v that he would not cut tax credits. So we have two problems:

1. Cameron will always seek to dodge the question when it comes to inequality.

2. Cameron cannot be trusted when does answer a question.

Reading and listening to the criticism that Corbyn is not some electric, bombastic, enthusiastic, majestic orator that can swing punches at Cameron like this is all some game... I feel like we are missing the point of PMQs. PMQs should not be seen as a game because: 

Tax credit cuts, not a game.
Benefit sanctions are not a game.
Screwing around with Junior Doctors is not a game.
Freezing child benefit is not a game.
Closing down fire stations is not a game.
Houses costing over £450k is not a game.
100,000 children homeless by Christmas is not a game.Cutting the police budget is not a game.
When Remembrance Day parades are cancelled due to budget cuts, I must repeat that this is not a game.

Cameron can complain all he wants about PMQs getting "longer and longer" but Cameron will not go cold this winter, his children will not be hungry, their Christmas tree will not look barren and the gifts will not sparse in his household. 

Cameron will never answer the question. Essentially, the critics of Corbyn know that the Labour leader is being asked to play Chess with a pigeon. As the old story goes, the problem with playing Chess with a pigeon is that it will knock over all the pieces and then strut about the place like it won the game. Corbyn understands that this is not a game and that is why Jeremy waits for the Conservatives to quit jeering. 

If the Parliamentary Labour Party could come back to reality and back Corbyn as he attempts to play Chess against a party of pigeons that would be great! If the Tories could treat Governance like an actual job and not some schoolyard game that would even better.
