May 28, 20241 yr What is it with these ‘State Companies’ they come up with now, just nationalise them please! Agree with the rail policies!
May 29, 20241 yr Author First TV debate confirmed. ITV on the 4th June - at 9pm for some ridiculous reason. Moderated by Julie Etchingham. Wasn't going to watch but certainly not going to watch it that late at night.
May 29, 20241 yr I'm going to swerve the tv 'debates' Watching Sunak just saying the same endless gaslighting sh!te will just annoy me :D
May 29, 20241 yr These polls have been horrendous for the Tories some showing 60% of under 50’s voting Labour and less than 10% Tories. If Starmer wins the debates too it really could be a pretty ugly number for the Tories. And quite frankly I can’t see Rishi being good at debates I think they’ll overtrain him and he will keep repeating himself
May 29, 20241 yr He’s not too bad at PMQs tbf but comes across as a bit nasty when slabbering about the Labour Party which won’t look good when he’s on the tv debates with no tories behind him baying along.
May 29, 20241 yr Author YouGov had a poll on the debates yesterday and only 33% were actually interested in watching the debates. Don't think they're going to be a factor like they were in 2010 https://x.com/YouGov/status/1795495808554385420

Nick Clegg became popular during the course of them, but didn't help the Lib Dems come the election night.
May 29, 20241 yr @1795761801138688365 Good for the opposition/Labour I guess. I’ll definitely be watching the debates. :cheer: though worried everyone will just pile-on against Labour…
May 29, 20241 yr Author Good for the opposition/Labour I guess. I’ll definitely be watching the debates. :cheer: though worried everyone will just pile-on against Labour… It's a Sunak v Starmer head to head this time round by the looks of it so less chance of a pile on.
May 29, 20241 yr It's a Sunak v Starmer head to head this time round by the looks of it so less chance of a pile on. Definitely watching then!
May 29, 20241 yr I don’t really see the point of watching a debate if you already know who you’re voting for and who you’re not voting for. There is nothing Sunak can do or say that will make me decide to vote Tory.

There is nothing Sunak can do or say that will make me decide to vote Tory.I don't know if I'll watch it but it'll be worth it to see Sunak put his foot in it and to see Starmer (hopefully) expose his weaknesses.
May 29, 20241 yr Just to note in here on the subject of Sunak talking about stopping universities from being able to teach 'useless' degrees... Looking at the last 4 PMs - Sunak, Truss, and Cameron all studied philosophy, while Boris did Classics. Not a STEM in sight.
May 29, 20241 yr surely in this instance people are most likely to watch the debates to laugh at Sunak as opposed to help them inform their decision on who to vote for :,) I very much doubt many viewers will go into the debate still on the fence

I don’t find him at all funny. This should be politics not entertainment. People conflating the two is the reason why the last five years in particular have been an absolute nightmare to live through. But I guess as long as people get their lols.

I think there’s more to watching it than for entertainment or to decide. I know I’m voting Labour but I want to keep up to date with their speeches to get an idea of how well they come across etc. Starmer and Reeves have been great so far from what I’ve seen. Very assured, no dithering or dodging questions, but I want to see how he does in a debate scenario. :D
May 29, 20241 yr I was deliberating because a Tory wipeout would be soooo funny and it would be cool to be part of that but I just can't vote for a party which bars Diane Abbott while welcoming Rosie Duffield or Natalie Elphicke.

We shouldn't even have debates, especially with our class system infiltrating everything, including the media. This isn't the USA.
