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.

Oh it's an emergency now Leo is it. How come it wasn't an emergency until you were suddenly in an election debate. So now you are about to take drastic action are you? I don't think I believe you for some reason.

They are doing more to get MLM elected than SF themselves

You might find it is indeed SF for the most part behind such hash tags.

I think MM and LV look small and silly bullying SF/MLM. Bully boys picking on the woman. I still don’t trust FF, and they were propping up FG for the last 4 years - why not have MLM put manners on them.

I wouldn't think they are bullying her, in fact I'd say the whole Russian army wouldn't be able to bully her either!

Was expecting Leo and MM to tag team MLMD but she is ganging up on both of them.

Ah jaysis, its a fair contest. Is it homophobic when Leo gets interrupted?

She was definitely being interrupted at the start, but since she asked Miriam to allow her to speak, she has been allowed to speak more.

MM didn't interrupt her weirdly.

Too little too little, way way too late.
And that goes for MM too

You can see effect of the rehearsals and gestures he was coached to within an inch of his life. A tad cringe.

MLMD is doing better than the previous two debates so far, SCC wobble aside.

Varadkar is ahead here. MM seems at sea.

Surprised how bad they all are. Lots of nerves on show.

Oh Leo with an absolute zinger about the typos, I actually feel bad for MM after that.

Don’t be daft but both FF and FG have continually picked on SF / MLM in the media / debates - even when she wasn’t there. I’m sick of them saying SF policies are rubbish, tell me what you are going to do - mind you you haven’t done it for the last 4 years.

FarmerBrowne

Excuse my ignorance but what is the point of Sein Fein involved in this debate? Neither FG or FF will go into government with them, whereas even if every candidate SF have gets elected they would need every single non FF and non FG candidate to even attempt to make a majority.
