Election TV debates - Not to my liking

The crap about the TV debate is becoming very boring and we are only days into election fever with chicken (according to the press and others) being shouted in the direction of Theresa May for running scared about the debates. Even with Theresa May saying a strong no to it ever happening some TV channels are planning to hold debates without her.

ITV have confirmed plans to broadcast an election debate. The idea could be to try to bully Theresa May into taking part but she looks to be standing firm on her decision and Tories are say no member of the government should take part. The BBC has also hinted at plans to follow suit.

The children are coming out to play with both Plaid Cymru and the Scottish National Party calling for broadcasters to have an "empty chair" if Theresa May declines TV companies invitations. Last time there were seven leaders debating and there would have been a few more if the door was not shut in the face of Northern Ireland politicians.

The Daily Mirror already have someone into a chicken suit to chase her around. There could be a run on hiring them or buying a suit has other parties protest her appearances.

These debates are just a shouting match, a point scoring opportunity with the government of the day mostly on the back foot against the rest.

Here goes with my favourite saying, ‘I am not a fan’. They are to regimental for me to many no hope leaders when we only need two. If it were to happen, it should be between May and Corbyn the only two who could possibly form a government.

I like the idea of Theresa May and other leaders taking part in a “Question Time” televised question-and-answer session with voters but not a head-to-head election debate. It could take place over a number of nights with the lesser parties sharing an event.

We would have more time to hear the leaders and more questions being asked is what I would like to hear. However Mrs May has indicated that she is open to appearing on the BBC’s Question Time election special, in which questions are posed by David Dimbleby and a panel of audience members.
