Rejected petition Stop MP's from not answering questions by using spinning techniques
In recent times MP's have started using the technique of spinning instead of answering questions they are asked
They avoid having to answer for their decision and do not debate the facts. Instead politics is turning into one mans ego fighting another, scaremongering, name calling and bullying!
More details
A member of parliament is elected to represent and should be fully accountable to the people. MP's should answer directly any concerns the public have in plain language
Career politicians use spinning to avoid questioning and therefore do not give the public the answer they are entitled too.
The people of the UK are entitled to and deserve real answers to issues they care about without the questions they ask being avoided.
MP's should always serve the people not there own interests!
