Introduce standing orders giving equal time at PMQs to opposition party leaders
We petition the House of Commons to introduce standing orders governing Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) to ensure that the number of questions allocated to party leaders are shared equally among the leaders of all recognised opposition parties in the House of Commons, including smaller parties.
All non-Government parties in the Commons constitute the collective opposition, and we think their leaders should all receive an equal number of questions and time in which to ask them.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
