I watch "Daily Politics" most weekdays, and I am yet to see a politician who can answer a question. If you asked a politician if it gets dark at night the best answer you would get would be something along the lines of, "Well as you know the policy of our party is to support reduced light between certain hours........................!" There is not one of them prepared to state their opinion on anything.
Daily Politics definitely gone downhill since Jo Coburn took over, Andrew Neil was just so much better at pointing out to politicians that they weren't answering the question and many, many times made them look more than a bit silly.
Many politicians of all colours have mastered the art of obfuscation to 1. deny their opponent time to reply, 2, eat up the time available on the show and limit the questions they can be asked.
There are so many more people that can be upset these days that I am not surprised that politicians are loathe to state their feelings - look what happened to Tim Farron who got tied into knots over his pro-Christian fundamentalist views.
Funny thing is that Farron stood on a anti-Brexit ticket in 2017 election and their party was pretty much wiped out, the vast majority of voters voted for parties who supported Brexit. Another point is that it referendum had been decided on normal parliamentary constituency votes the result would have been over 400 seats out of 654 voted leave.
