What the petition asks
It should be fair, that when the Prime Minister goes into PMQ's (Prime Ministers Questions) a group of members of the public should be allowed to ask questions to the Prime Minister, either in the benches or over a video line/link.
Yes, our elected officials are informed about our problems such as the cost of living crisis (including fuel and energy costs), spending on public services, and other concerns for our country. However, officials and even the PM do not see the direct impact of their decisions on the public.
Having members of the public actively taking part in the PMQ's could actually show the members of parliament see what their "changes" and "rules" and doing to the British Public.
