Tv Tory Leadership Debate.

[Atheist]

I was heartened to see that the studio audience seemed to give most applause to Rory Stuart. I thought they were bored with the old guard and more enthusiastic about someone with a more reasoned and moderate approach.

I didn't see it but gather that the shoo-in was a no-show.

Some might say he's not up to it.

Might help if you saw it. Helps to form an opinion if you know the data.

Where's all the right-wingers tonight? Busy watching breitbart?

[gulliver1]

Where was Worzel ?

He made a couple of slip-ups imo but on the whole sounded even more impressive. Especially when he didn't quite go for the "My biggest weakness is that I care too much" approach, but something far more humble.

I still can't see him winning, and even then who knows what he would be like as a PM anyway? But at least he's bringing something different and pragmatic to the debate.

I get the feeling that the right wing ABers didn't watch this - perhaps they think it's too 'main-stream media'. Pity.

Interesting that Boris proved even a bigger coward than Donald.

[Theland]

Sajid for me.

Doesn't matter what the studio audience thought though, does it. They don't get a say in who gets the job. I caught a bit of it by accident and all i saw was Gove talking over Raab as he tried to get a point across.

Rory Stuart is possibly the brightest of the bunch, but a Remainer. So if he became PM he'd keep us in.

But then most of the others are liars, so they probably will too.

PS: didn't know it was on TV, therefore I've missed the master debate by accident rather than by design.
