Rejected petition Make it LAW that the prime minister of the United Kingdom answers questions

The prime minister has a duty to this country to actually answer any question being asked. Currently this is not happening. They never answer the question asked and just answer randomly and use the time to attack the leader of the opposition. This is not what PMQs is about.

More details

The prime minister must answer the question with an answer that is RELEVANT to what has been asked. This time is important and the country and his majesty's official opposition deserve to have their questions answered. For too long the prime ministers have used this time to attack opposition parties, answer randomly and divert themselves away from questions asked. Why? They have to face scrutiny wether prime minister or not. The country deserves better.
