General Election TV debates

Muahahaha

Deserving of its own thread I feel, especially with FF and FG being neck and neck.
Michael Martin and Leo Varadkar about to debate now on TV3, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Likely to be a score draw but if Varadkar wobbles at any point it could send the campaign south pretty quick. TV3 reporting that they have a genuine hatred for each other so they'll have to keep emotions in check.

RTE will also be holding a Martin-Varadkar debate as well as one for all the party leaders together.

They're interrupting when the candidates try waffling and going off the point in fairness.

That's not issue if they start waffling but the presenters are interupting before the leaders get a chance to answer

Vote on what they've done, not on what they say they'll do.

It disproportionately affects those in the public service.

That old chestnut has been thrown around for the last 12 years. Perhaps it's time to test the theory.

By all means, but I don't see it going any other way than what I said, they can just move to other countries and keep the money they'd be taxed here.

FG did not have an overall majority so could not implement all their promises.

Yeah its all a bit much when they arent even allowed to answer their questions. Tabloid stuff from Virgin Media in an attempt to create controversy

This is a shambles. Bring back Claire Byrne.

Thank you. We should have those lies at every crossroads in the country.

Things were a lot more calm and measured last night. The decision by Ivan and Matt (or their producers) to go for a battle royale is not paying off so far.

The only winners here will be the advertisers and VM's bank balance. Desperately disrespectful to them all. Let them make a point and let the debate develop naturally.

Agreed, Ivan Yates is painful - his voice goes through my head like a drill

shenanagans

Its a poor debate so far. Matt is a joke with his constant interruptions. Claire is streets ahead of these 2 guys.

A tough watch.

The two moderators going full WWE tag team is making for a lot of noise but little else.

Although if I'm think more rationally, I think there needs to be more spread of investment across the country especially if the greens get in power. We wouldn't need a metro North if we actually diversified across the country.

Very true. All the shouting is very off putting. Some of the candidates look flustered. Some not getting air time. Not great so far.

Naggdefy

The politicians get flak, mostly deserved.

But I can't stand the double act of that little sh*t Cooper and his enforcer 'Billy big balls Yates'.

False machismo crap.
