That said, I'm happy to see a debate between only those with a realistic chance of becoming PM, i.e. Cameron vs Miliband.
That leans the whole debate system towards the presidential debates of the US. Fuck that. We're British not Americans. We're not voting for PM, we're voting for policies.
Agreed. Though I like the idea they're currently going for: multi-party debates with a final prospective-PM bs prospective-PM debate.
