Most of the big shot interviewers are rubbish; they never want to let the person they are interviewing answer the question. The one exception is Andrew Neil who is by several miles the best interviewer on TV or radio.

I dont often agree with Cameron, but I supported his boycott of the debates. This is not the way politics should be going IMHO. Its ironic that we all have so much more access to information than ever before, yet this sort of thicko 'tabloid TV' seems to be so popular :(
I agree, Cameron's decision to take no further part is the best decision he's made to date. Although I suspect his reason for backing away is a lack of confidence when standing up against Farage.

These so-called TV debates actually under-mine democracy. They raise the profile of the carefully crafted presidential candidates whilst reducing the role and value of elected Parliamentary 'representatives' to the official role of obedient of lobby-fodder.

I think if they do have debates there should either be no audience or the audience should remain silent. The TV compsnies seem unable to find a way of assembling an audience that is either genuinely undecided or genuinely balanced.

I totally agree about there being no audience present. If there are to be debates, the question then arises; who decides what the questions are?

Here's a question that is crying out to be asked of the political leaders in a very public debate: Why have you wilfully, willingly, deceitfully and covertly committed treason against the British people by handing over British sovereignty to the foreign power of the European Union without reference to the British people?

Another question should be: Why are so many of you politicians working for secretive organisations such as the Bilderbergers and the Trilateral Commission, where Chatham House Rules are in force. Going on from this question is the follow on: Who is paying you for your 'services', the British taxpayer or the secretive bankers and corporatists?

And: Why are you heavily influenced by such people as the Rockefellers, Al Gore, Maurice Strong, and many other globalists?

How about: Where is your indisputable scientific evidence that supposedly supports the man-made global warming/climate change theory that you are all agreed provides you with a reason to tax us all into abject poverty?

Here's another: Why is there so little or no action being taken against suspect paedophiles who are part of the establishment?

Another killer question to Cameron could be: Why is Melanie Shaw (a child abuse victim turned whistle-blower) currently banged up in a Sodexo privately run-for profit prison without trial and without any evidence-based charge laid against her? A follow on question should be: Why is Melanie Shaw being denied her choice of legal council?

We know for sure that none of the above big questions would ever be asked in any of the current TV 'debates'. What makes things even worse, the mainstream media also appear to be too frightened to ask them.

I notice the closing moments of The Archers on Radio 4 yesterday were devoted to a warning that repeats of this year's catastrophic flooding in Ambridge are inevitable because of global warming.I kid you not.

I didn't hear it, but that represents blatant political propaganda by the BBC. It is precisely for that type of output that many of us have lost all trust in the BBC.

I'll guarantee that the BBC didn't mention that the floods were directly due to the Environmental Agency's failure to dredge the rivers on the Somerset Levels for the last 20 years or so. Not only did the EA not dredge the rivers, they actually sold off the dredging equipment. Neither will the BBC publish the fact that the failure to dredge the rivers is part of the re-wilding back to nature and chaos policy that springs directly from the UN's Agenda 21.

Never realised anyone still listened to the Archers, I have certainly haven't for years..

Evan Davis set out the other night to do a hatchet job on Farage, speaking over his replies some it was damn rude. The whole interview resolved around the quality of the UKIP people and where they have slipped up in the past but nothing about when the candidates in the other parties mess up.

Davis is a member of the metropolitan elite, the class of people who have much to lose if UKIP gain influence within power. Their position on the BBC is already known and this accounts for the hostility against them.

I anticipate UKIP getting only a few seats certainly <10 maybe only 3 or 4 but overall they will easily take third place in the popular vote overhauling the Lib Dems who will secure probably 3 or 4 times more seats than UKIP does. Ukip will gets lots of second places but sadly this will not transpire into many real seats.

If we get an extreme Government Labour/SNP coalition for example the nation will be in crisis. On that basis I expect an robust debate to start on overhauling the first past the post system of Government when a Nationalist party is in a position with just a few seats from a population of just 5.2Million is able to wield power in a democracy of 80+ Million and to benefit their people at the expense of the many.

I agree, the interviewing tactic was obscene as he tried to do a Paxman and failed miserably.

To Nigel's credit he didn't try to shout over him but just stopped and made Davis look stupid in my opinion. It was quite obvious that Davis isn't a UKIP supporter and was trying to make a point.

You should never be able to detect an interviewer's own political leanings but these days it's frequently all to obvious.
