You could never have a serious debate on question time TheCrownless Send a noteboard - 23/10/2009 02:46:09 PM
It's an hour long panel show with a maniac presenter, questions from the audience and 4 parties all trying to grapple for the middle ground. None of them specialising in immigartion laws.
The one time anyone (Jack Straw) tried to mention an actual policy on migration and he was pilloried by the conservative leader who said things needed "tightened up" without actually presenting an alternative. If the points system for visas is so bad why could the conservative MP not come up with a different solution.
One Labour MP named a policy and tried to explain it, and came out in the general opinion as second worst to the racist. In such a poorly structured program a debate was impossible.
Come to the dark side, We have candy!

I'm Israel, he's Palestine, its more fun when you pick sides.

That's why I said it'd have been much more interesting without him. Legolas - 23/10/2009 12:33:57 AM 709 Views
I think it exposed him as an non-viable alternative TheCrownless - 23/10/2009 12:54:57 AM 736 Views
