PMQS a joke

Wednesday and the joke that is Prime Minister’s Questions or (PMQS) are on and one thing is for sure you will not learn much about British politics in this 30 plus minutes it a joke.
 
It is supposed to be 30 minutes but tends to run over because of all the screeching and shouting from both sides of the parliament. It is just so childish. The speaker of the Commons is on hand to try to control the MPs but it is difficult.
 
The Prime Minister is supposed to be on hand to answer questions but rarely does unless the question is from a member of his own party. No matter what he is asked, he normally gets a joke or mention of the past Labour governments in for good measure. The opposition sit booing or hissing and depending on the passion jumping up before the speaker asking the ‘honourable gentlemen’ to sit back down.
 
The exchanges between party leaders are the biggest joke of the 30 minutes. The Prime Minister is there to answer the question from the leader of the opposition who gets six tries to get an answer to the question asked.
 
We have to go to the polls in May to vote this shower back on the gravy train for another five years.
