General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
Theresa May didn't show up, the Lib Dem kid made 2 funny jokes and Caroline Lucas is wife material.
Would be consistent, yes, but that would make nine reps on the panel...
Maybe we could start off with them all and have qualifying rounds for the final debate.

Was the audience notably pro-Labour?
Beginning of June - end of May...
Ah must of missed that bit. I don't like him at all but I thought he did quite good overall.
Yeah, I thought he came across quite well - better than I expected.
Seven people argued for an hour and a half and nothing probably changed.
Aye, he's a tad ridiculous but I don't mind him too much overall. Won't vote for his party still though.
Thornberry interrupting the interview...
Theresa May didn't turn up.
Paul Nuttal is a racist.
Farron is quite funny.
Caroline Lucas is quite good.
Corbyn did alright, but didn't really do anymore damage than he did just for turning up.
Robertson is well suited to this environment.
Leanne Wood is a melt.
Rudd was pretty good at repeating Tory soundbites but struggled when she was taken away from those areas.
Well quite, and 7 was clearly too many already.
I don't understand what that means, so no offence taken.
TBF I don't think the general public care as much about morals as the fate of the economy and consequently their lives as much as they will publicly pretend, it wasn't a bad answer. As we know she couldn't go into any more detail anyway as she was cut off before being allowed to respond to Wood's taunt.
I've always thought of him as a 90s Blue Peter presenter that had to leave after a late night incident involving a pair of comedy fake breasts. You can imagine him saying "phwoar!" about stuff.
But overall he did the job tonight. Lucas and Robertson are better at portraying themselves as politicians though.
unless your a phone or the inventor of auto correct spelling on phones you don't need to be offended.
IT'S ON
When is the next debate?
We all know that people say one thing in polls and do another in the privacy of the ballot box. It'll be a Tory landslide.
May is like the real life Nicola Murray, but comprehensively less likable.
I could see someone running with the same manifesto as Farron but having more of Clegg style doing quite well with sort voters Cameron brought into the tory party.
But yeah there's no chance they are getting my vote.
YouGov have got balls anyway - because no-one else is that close. Polls are so split you have to think at least one will have it's reputation tanked.
Friday
May dodging it was always going to hurt her to a degree but probably not as much as her showing up and looking like the twat she is.
Any real winner based on what was actually seen tonight?
That BritainElects polls has it getting very close.
Was just on their website. That is very close. I want to see the polls which take into account tonight and Friday. I'm wary of Yougov's model.
I never understood that, aren't the polls anonymous?
I'm not a phone, or the inventor of auto correct spelling on phones, so that is a relief. ffs
People always forget the shy Tory factor. Folks don't like admitting they're cnuts to strangers.
Yes
I'm not a phone, or the inventor of auto correct spelling on phones, so that is a relief. ffs
and why should I believe you?
yeah the right wing always does better on election day then it does in polls
But on a online poll where people vote anonymously? I don't understand why they would lie?Not sure, but the polls before the last election had it close (neck and neck?) and the Tories romped it. Besides, most Tory voters are elderly and won't be doing polls or on social media.
It would be somewhat phoney of me.
Any online poll will be biased towards Labour as younger people tend to favour them whereas most Tory voters wouldn't even be online.
Lucas, Farron and Robertson came out of it best. Lucas was probably the outright winner, but it's hard to see how that will really matter: another Green seat maybe? On a national level no, not really.
Hopefully the polling companies have learnt their lesson on this one.
