i'm tempted to say in current circumstances i'm not sure how many votes we'll get. alisons found that a stomach churning interview, it made uncomfortable viewing on many fronts, not the least of which is the absolute obsequiousness of the presenters. and one twitter user wondered, how can this propaganda be allowed when may runs from a face—to—face debate? yes, the television debates. the format in which senior politicians appear in the set piece election programmes only started in 2010, but has since become a battle ground with broadcasters. in 2015 david cameron refused to follow the example of his predecessor as prime minister, gordon brown, and take part in a head—to—head discussion on the bbc with other party leaders. five of whom appeared without him in a so—called challengers debate. theresa may has followed his example and jeremy corbyn has said he won't take part in such a programme either, if she doesn't. so this time round we were told this week the bbc will be showing a debate featuring senior representatives from labour, the conservatives, the liberal democrat
