I don't think I agree with Corbyn on that, but PMQs do need to reform from the circus that it currently is. It serves no purpose. Where else could you get away with shouting on like MPs do during it, whilst at work?
Neither did I, at first. But after some consideration I decided it could actually be a very shrewd move on his part.
While Corbyn does stand his ground and appears not to falter on his principles, he can however become a bit aggressive when criticised or challenged. When facing Cameron on a weekly basis at PMQ's, Cameron will fast learn what buttons to press to provoke a reaction and press will gleefully attempt to hammer him on this. Whether the public will be influenced by this spin - who knows? Maybe they'll appreciate his honesty and passion, maybe not, but the fact remains Corbyn probably won't be as slick as Cameron week in, week out.
By allowing other MP's to take to the despatch box, Corbyn distances himself from the constant barrage of abuse he's likely to receive from Cameron while simultaneously pursuing other agendas such as general political reform and allowing other voices in the party to be heard. It could be a good thing in the long run.
