Title: General Election TV debate
Post by: Miss Demeanour on March 03, 2010, 10:37:10 AM
So the 3 main leaders are to sit down together and share their vision, policies and ideas about how this country should be run.

I'm sure the questions won't be too scripted  ::) and this won't be too stage managed  ::)

... the election debates between Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg will take place in near silence after the broadcasters were forced to agree to a ban on clapping.
The ruling is part of a 76-clause landmark deal signed yesterday which will allow the historic debates to go ahead for the first time in Britain.
The ban on applause is supposedly to allow time for more questions. But it is understood that the parties were nervous that studio audience reaction could influence TV viewers.



When can we go for the cage fighting ,  no holds barred performance ???

We have an honourable tradition of heated debate at places like Hyde Park Corner. I think these "debates" should be held there.
