PM floored by formula question

 

By far the best question at Prime Minister's Questions today was based on a formula. Wrexham MP Ian lucas brilliantly reworked and delivered the question based on the formula in my book 'How to be an MP'.  He asked,

 

    'On the question of a European referendum, is it the policy of the Prime Minister to be     

     indecisive, or is he not sure?'

 

It is based on the model question asked by Nick Ainger to John Major two days after John Redwood’s bid to oust Major as leader of the Tory Party failed. It was the topical issue that was the sure-fire way to grab the attention of a noisy distracted House.

 

Attention

Given the description by John Redwood of the Prime Minister’s leadership as ‘uncertainty based on indecision’

 

Point

 Is it the job of the Deputy Prime Minister now to take the decisions?

 

Unanswerable Question

      Or has the Prime Minister not decided yet?
