Tv Debate Tonight
I know we have discussed his ad nauseum here on AB before, but if everybody else will be present tonight, but not Cameron, or Cleggie, what is the point ?
What value is there in a Debate if one of the only two people that can win in three weeks time is left out ?

It's fairly obvious what Cameron is up to. After the debate he will use the predominantl y Right-wing mass media to refute any anti-Tory claims made on the programme without fear of any contradictio n (which would have happened if he had been present in the debate). He gets the last word. Job done.

Clegg’s a non-entity, but that aside perhaps it's designed to give Ed a chance to waffle without credible opposition. ;o)
(Incidentally, I think he's been on a 'How to improve your image' course. He seems to be doing an awful lot of finger-wagging and staring straight at the camera in a kind of faux sincere manner these days. Just an observation).

Another one of those areas where there's agreement across the AB spectrum. For my part I would only like to see more TV debates if there is a change in the system towards a more presidential style of government and voting. In the present system of constituency MPs it makes little sense -- especially as Nicola Sturgeon isn't even standing for election, and Nick Clegg might still have some support across the country but is under threat in his own constituency.
big mistake I'd say in not attending. where else are they (politicians) going to get such a big audience to listen to them. either A) they just can't be bothered. which shows contempt for the voters. B) they are painting their kitchens for another photo shoot with ' the family'. as an aside. keep your children out of the limelight. !!!!
on the contrary mikey, he would be mad to take part, especially now as he's said he won't. The incumbant PM has nothing to gain from this process. I would be advising ED not to do it either. He's going to make himself look like one of the the non entities he's debating with. If he'd got any sense he should pull out and turn it into a lower division squabble.
