Does Blair Answer The Question An Analysis Of His Performance At

This research proposal aims to analyze Tony Blair's performance at Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) since 1997 to determine if he adequately answers questions posed. The study will qualitatively analyze a sample of questions from Conservative and Liberal Democratic leaders to categorize Blair's responses. Data will be collected over time to identify trends in answering patterns, attacked topics, and whether Blair addresses issues raised. The main source is the Hansard record from 1988-present. Statistical analysis will quantify results to evaluate if Blair fails to answer questions as accused.
