At this point the opposition parties should boycott FMQ’s. Every week they attempt to hold this “open and transparent” SNP to account but never ever get any answers. It’s all spin and blaming everyone else but themselves. Also the role of the presiding officer is pointless, just let the SNP turn up and clap themselves into oblivion.

Time for reform UK in Scotland change is needed

Total waste of time. Spin, diversion and blame everybody but themselves. Welcome to the world of the SNP.

[@smoggydrones5664]

All questions are known a week in advance and why at FMQ do snp members question their own party leader. Total waste of time

[@mfslots]

nonsense they don't know in advance and unless it is SNP members no different to conservative MPs asking questions at prime ministers question time

[@smoggydrones5664]

@@mfslots I think you will find they get a weeks notice of questions of the main parties. I cannot comment on Westminster question time. Holyrood can debate all afternoon and you already know the outcome of the vote so another waste of time. It’s a joke and needs total reform.

@@smoggydrones5664 that is not true they do not there's an entire special advisor salary that goes to preparing for fmqs

[@vtechead1]

@@mfslotsit is true, they get time to prepare their answers. It’s the same at PMQs. The difference being, the Nats have to read off their prepared sccript, where at PMQs they can usually remember facts and figures off the top of their heads. Catch up.

@@vtechead1 they don't get opposition questions in advance and are you mental pmq's doesn't even attempt to answer questions. Ive worked in both places so I know what I'm talking about use don't

[@blackislepeastoo]

To ask a question then have someone read a prepared piece - how is this in any way rigourous ?

[@billymilliken625]
