Rejected petition During Pmqs the prime minister should answer the question asked and not deviate.

Answer the asked question not an answer to a question that they are prepared for. If the PM goes off topic the speaker should give them one chance to get back on track if not then they should have to apologise to the country every time.

Because trust in politics and politicians is so low a little but if truth without spin could do wonders.
