Letter to the I: BBC Question Time


Mark Wallace's article about BBC Question Time was frankly odd and disingenuous.  He seems to largely blame the audience for apparent "cynicism" that exists in Question Time's political discourse.  As the editor of Conservative Home he glaringly overlooked the less than inspiring contributions of Government Ministers to the programme.  They seem incapable of answering questions and seem to treat the audience with contempt, hardly encouraging constructive dialogue.  He talks about getting politics out of "bubbles" and making it more open through social media.  On the contrary you can find no more dysfunctional and terrifying political discussion bubbles than Facebook groups.
