Have you watched PMQs... He asks a question, she doesn't answer it and then everyone for some reason starts laughing... it's bizarre! It's like some bad 80s sitcom :/ |

There is 7 weeks to the election. Everyone in political parties will be running themselves ragged, there's not time for researchers and other political staff to make their particular party look informed as well as prepare for everything else that needs to be done.
During the last election I thought every party came off poorly after the debates. |

I'm disappointed in Mays decision. Someone could have talked on her behalf. |

I've heard it said that politics is showbusiness for ugly people. I think that may be right in the USA, they're used to this kind of showmanship. I don't think it's something that we Brits do well, whichever party they represent. But I understand some people are disappointed. |
Whether there is any time for a debate to be organised remains to be seen, the sad fact is May has ruled participating out in favour of door knocking in her constituency, how very inclusive of her :umm2:
|
All MPs should be door-knocking in their constituencies. Lots of people never see their MP, or even know who represents them.

From what i've been hearing she may have been advised not to do TV debates as in her position she has nothing to gain and more to lose by doing them.
The DP earlier was saying that some people think we may not have had a coalition government without Cleggs performances in the TV debates.I seem to remember Clegg doing well in those.It's probably the best move on her part. Why would she do them if they'll provide her with no benefit. |

She is still PM though, and as such should be reaching out to the country not just randomly selected homes. |
ITV confirm debate will take place

The motion has gone through for the election.

It'd be a mistake for her not to do the debates, a bad performance wouldn't likely hurt her lead but refusing to take part certainly would so I hope she snubs them.

ITV has said they will do one
with All the other party leaders |

They have been done for the last 2 elections and all those leaders were willing to do them,as they are now too. Those leaders were all elected by voters too,except for Natalie Bennett and now Paul Nuttall. If they can manage to do them,so should she. |
Strange how TV debates are treated as an absolute must these days when there was never any form of tv debate in the numerous general elections before 2010. There's only been two elections in which we had them and even in 2015 Cameron only reluctantly agreed to a seven person one. It's pretty obvious that the serving PM will always have the most to lose and the least to gain from TV debates, look how well they worked out for Brown in 2010
