Nick Clegg’s second ‘town hall’ meeting, featuring PMQs

… has been written up by the local newspaper here.

Amongst other issues, Nick talked about Prime Minister’s Questions – a topic recently raised on Lib Dem Voice by both MP Lynne Featherstone and peer Paul Tyler.

Nick Clegg had this to say:

“Prime Minister’s Question Time is absurd,” he said. “The whole thing is designed to flatter the Prime Minister and the leader of the Conservatives.

“I much prefer meetings like these. The House of Commons has a certain rude logic to it but it’s a pathetic way to run a democracy, with grown men and women shouting at each other.

“I have said right from the beginning I would do as many of these meetings as I can. It’s much more rewarding. I hear from real people about their real everyday concerns.”
