At his first PMQs, the new U.K. Labour leader replaced questions traditionally from members of parliament with questions gathered from the public, saying he wanted a less "theatrical" PMQs....right or not ?

One might be tempted to think he has no questions of his own...

I think it was great, an MP asking questions that the people he represents want answering is what I understand they are there for.

time will tell but it put Cameron on the back foot and it wasn't a 'yah boo' catcalling etc type PMQ's as is usual so who knows if it will make a welcome change..

The pleasant thing was the sheer number of questions sent to Corbyn and today the press tracking down the people who had sent the questions.

Corbyn has a lot of experience as a constituency MP, probably a lot more than the PM will ever have. He does understand that role of being there to represent individuals.

He didnt ask his constituents...he sent an open email out and got 45.000 replies...they then picked the top six questions

Id imagine if you'd asked your local MP to ask a question on your behalf (as is their job) you'd be mighty peed off with him.
