Nothing you see in question period is ad hoc. Heck federally Trudeau doesn't even pretend he has to give an answer to any questions, he just memorizes a one line response that may or may not actually refer to the questions asked and he just spews that out verbatim.

The people I've known in party politics more or less all say the same thing. It's a brutally stifling environment. One can not even publicly signal they agree with someone across partisan lines is saying - let alone vote what they believe. Party discipline is inherently a command and control exercise. It's all strictly enforced group-think. This is why I like municipal politics more - you can actually be an individual critical thinker and actor in your decision making capacity.
