PoliMonitor PQs Analysis
For many first-term MPs the primary objective is to get re-elected in 5 years’ time. For these MPs, the thing at the front of their mind is to communicate to their constituents the work they are doing on their behalf in Westminster. This might take the form of a weekly newsletter, a quarterly leaflet jammed through letterboxes or posts on social media. But another key metric for their performance is also their work in Parliament. EDMs, PQs and speaking in debates are all effective ways to produce content to feed back to their constituents.
But how effective are PQs? Who among the MPs in this latest session of Parliament has been making the most noise through Parliament’s Table Office? Who is leading the way among the newest cohort of MPs first elected at last year’s election? PoliMonitor has run the numbers.
