I'm not sure that being rude would help with getting answers. If you've tuned into a PMQ in the last ten years they rarely, if ever, answer any of the questions.
I'd prefer if they went the whole hog and started fistfighting instead of doing oxbridge debate class shit.
Opposition: "Mr. Speaker, when will the Prime Minister apologize for the egregious typeface error on his letterhead?" a loud ring of "hear, hear"
PM: "Mr. Speaker, since we formed government, we've raised living standards 36%, put more money in the pocket of every child in Canada, defeated the Coronavirus, and stopped climate change. If the opposition minister doesn't want nice things for Canadians, perhaps he should tell them that directly." whooping and cheering
Meanwhile the US and Russian versions are a press secretary taking questions from mostly recuperated career journalists that amount to repeating "please refer to the press release already made, and stop being un-patriotic. Thanks, no further questions".

Fair enough, but literally every exchange is:
Opposition: "Mr. Speaker, when will the Prime Minister apologize for the egregious typeface error on his letterhead?" a loud ring of "hear, hear"
PM: "Mr. Speaker, since we formed government, we've raised living standards 36%, put more money in the pocket of every child in Canada, defeated the Coronavirus, and stopped climate change.

Honestly thought this was supposed to be description of UK Parliament until I saw the word "Canada".
