The Election Broadcast Last Night......

[10ClarionSt]

.....what did you think? I thought it was a waste of time, too predictive. All the politicians said what you expect from each of them and when there were any disputed points you couldn't tell what they said because they were shouting over each other. A waste of everyones' time in my opinion.

avoid these progs like the plague...lest a mug gets tossed in yonder direction ! lol

And to think one of these party's will be running this country.

[aelmpvw]

i've stopped listening to their rhetoric, it only encourages them

As one newscaster said " Cats in a sack"

The Tories may have been better sending no-one. It does seem like all the others unite against the Tories (and then all bar one against UKIP), and the audience was clearly heavily anti-Tory, so it put Amber Rudd in a very difficult position. I think the Tories from take some comfort though from the fact that the anti-Tory vote will be spread between so many parties that have a similar anti-austerity, pro-EU, free movement, pro-immigration, tax the rich even more, agenda.

"" the audience was clearly anti Tory" that was the excuse of the mail last night also.

Anne...I agree....blaming the messenger rather than the message.

[youngmafbog]

TV debates are a waste of time, a load of cackling lefties including the audience.

TM got it right not to go. If she had gone I'm sure she would have been lambasted for a U-turn all night and lets remember Jezza only did a last minute U-turn.

[fiction-factory]

Well if it was representative as the BBC claimed it would be something like 40% Tory, 60% others, so it was bound to be anti-Tory, but the anti Tory sector seemed greater than that to me and was certainly far more vocal.

[Trawlerman]

Audience heavily weighted to labour how typical of the left wing loonies at the BBC.
Jeremy Corbyn still doesn't look like a leader of the country.

[dannyk13]

From the Mail. George Eaton a political editor of the Labour supporting New Statesman said "This feels like the most left wing audience in any TV debate".

[mikey4444]

Danyy...could it be that the majority of the audience just didn't like what Rudd was saying, no matter what they might have voted in 2015 ?

In the 2015 Election, 36.9% of voters, voted for the Tories.....in other words, just over 63% didn't.

[dannyk13]

Mikey, the quote is from a Labour supporter, and from what I saw last night I tend to agree with him.

[naomi24]

Mikey, that 63% was split between all the other parties, and Labour got only 30% of it. Let's not lead the reader astray.

[scooping]

I thought Amber Rudd did rather well.

[Khandro]

I wouldn't dream of watching these things, but was presented with a clip on the news later and I'm sure Nigel Farage is right here;

It is something I believe has been going on with 'Question Time' for a while, I think these events are targeted by Momentum and the Corbynista rentamob.

[mikey4444]

Danny....that is as maybe, but this isn't the Refn. that we are talking about, its the coming election. No matter what Party wins, and its looking like its going to be the Tories, that Party will only represent a minority of voters

[naomi24]

Khandro, I tend to agree with you.

[mikey4444]

I always know when the Tories are getting rattled, as they start to attack the BBC !
