Opposition Leaders Debate - BBC1 - 8PM


User

Recommended Posts

"The BBC has now released the audience data from last night's challengers debate and it is likely to fuel Ukip accusations that it was left-wing.

A BBC spokesman discloses that of the 200-strong audience, 80 per cent (160 people) had a political preference and 20 per cent were undecided.

Of those with the preference the ratios were: "Conservative 5, Labour 5, LD 4, UKIP 3, SNP 2, Green 2, Plaid 1."

Which, by our maths, would make the audience composition:

Undecided: 40

Conservative: 36

Labour: 36

Lib Dem: 29

Ukip: 22

SNP: 15

Green: 15

Plaid: 7

That means of the decided voters, there were 58 from right-leaning parties (Conservative and UKIP) against 102 from left-leaning parties (including the Lib Dems). Even if you take the Lib Dems out as centrist, then it's 73 left-wing against 58 right-wing."

Seriously need to stop playing the victim.

All I can imagine is louder moaning once you lose.

Don't bother wasting your time, their is no rationale with these guys. Just read this full topic for some lols. Justin's posts are the best in here.

Don't bother wasting your time Thun their is no rationality with these guys. The Audiance themselves came out and said it was Left Wing, the BBC dropped the figures showing it was Left Wing, the public watched the show themselves and could see it was Left Wing. But these guys...... Meh. If you told them the Sky was blue they would have an argument with you.

That comment's not even relevant to the BBC shit. However, a lot of people probably don't want to be outspoken about their support for UKIP when you got a large number of retards that believe it's some racist Nazi movement, plus all the hate and violence from the hard left.

nah you just seem to be moaning excessively lately

the level of blinking by Sturgeon and Bennet is off-putting 

 

c/s whoever said the Welsh woman just seems to be spitting prepared speeches

 

only Ed + Nigel providing real figures and executable policies, everyone else on "we will try to...", "we will fight.." (without heading up with how they're doing such things), Greens giving actual numbers of what they'd do but would never be executable if they were in power

 

no one wants to give a touch of a negative point on immigration except "there's been too much" other than Nigel - I can understand why, no one's going to run their campaign on an immigration point other than UKIP, but will be interesting to see what people actually do to address the fears of immigration once they do get into power

 

Nigel has a good critique of Labour, he seems better than most Conservatives at it. Maybe Conservatives have supported a lot of the bad decisions made by Labour? 

 

 

I can see why the idea of a left wing bias was here. Obviously all but Nigel on the panel was pretty left-wing, Ed being more 'right' than the others. But UKIP don't represent the whole of the 'right', and that's why it seemed like a left-wing bias, because there were no Conservative-party points being made, all Nigel ever talked about was immigration and I'm pretty sure that's a very small amount of what the Conservative party focuses on. Plus you're not going to get many Conservatives co-signing Farage/UKIP in public.

 

Can see this debate did nothing for UKIP, and other than shooting down Sturgeon wouldn't have helped Labour. The other 3 probably benefitted the most (though after the shoot-down SNP may have taken a hit).
