The trouble is when Miliband asks a frank and honest question Cameron rarely gives a frank and honest answer, instead he usually finds away to turn the question back on Miliband.
That's how PMQ's work and in defence to all PM's who been on the receiving end, the questions coming at them are rarely "honest". Carefully conceived traps would be a better description. 99 times out of 100 their sole purpose is to discredit the PM, a member of his party or his party in toto. Now wonder they get short shrift.
Don't watch Prime Minister's Questions because I don't like the Prime Minister? Yes, maybe I should not watch football because I don't like the other teams
Yes just a little. I look forward to Labour supporters (and there are many), explaining how Ed has won PMQs today.... they don't normally, they just insult others who explain why they think he's put in a bad performance.

You'll have to remind me of any examples.
Loads of open ended, spin laden, non specific tosh gets asked. Specifics about key policies?........ rarely if ever.

Yes but when you've got such a poor captain it must be annoying to watch your team getting thrashed most weeks....
Cameron usually finds some ham-fisted way of getting in some pre-scripted insult about "Labour's mess / Unions / wrong Brother / no policies / borrowing." It's just awful to watch
Yes it's very tiring
Be nice if he outlined his plans and how things are improving, instead of looking back

But the difference is that most PM's have always answered the question knowing that they are rarely "honest", Cameron seems to have started a new trend.

It's entirely up to you. But if you've taken a position before the event and you know you're not going to like Cameron no matter what. Don't complain about it afterwards and don't throw around accusations of bias.

He has repeatedly referred to achievements - such as unemployment numbers down, apprenticeship numbers up, numbers of people taken out of paying tax up and so on.

I don't like David Cameron. However sometimes he does get the better of Ed Miliband, which is undeniable. People on this forum are very biased (see earlier posts in this thread)

How can it be fair that those in private rented system don't get a subsidy and those in social housing do asks Cameron in response to the planted question.

Who wins PMQs is a matter of opinion, not a matter of fact (unlike football)
