I really am beginning to think they should just scrap the ideal of the debates altogether now.

All the leaders except for David Cameron have said they would do them in accordance with the formula set out from the broadcasters.

Since his screaming and moaning and jumping up and down as to only his way or no way then they should just drop them and not entertain him at all.
Having none will just leave an election campaign a little more like they used to be.

David Cameron made a great fuss of these debates and ahving them when opposition leader, even taunting Gordon Brown as to them.
Now he is really running scared and what a pathetic sight it is, his squirming as to them unless he gets all his own way.

Any debate is not worth a light,if it is held before all the manifesto releases of the parties, held outside of the actual 'official' campaign time is plain ridiculous.

All I will take from this,is that David Cameron willb e lying totally to the electorate in the eelction as he did in 2010.
If he is debating before the eelction campaign officially begins, then anything he says will not be worth the paper it may be written on.
To me is a con man, pure and simple and a dangerous one for the UK at that.He is after all the only PM to have come within an inch of presiding over the UK breaking up.

His judgements are horrendous, his word emans virtually nothing as to what he says to the electorate and he is not a man to be trsuted any longer with the high office as Prime Minister.
All other Prime Ministers well gone before him,must be turning in their graves at this procrastinating and smug man being in the office they held so respectfully and much more honourably.

Just scrap all the debates don't give him any platform at all I say.

I'm not a fan of these sensationalised debates with instant polls on who performed best etc. I don't think Cameron has anything to worry about, and is hardly running scared, after all, people have had 4 years already to pick away at his performance, and how effective has that been?

If there is to be a debate, 1 is certainly sufficient. If they can't debate effectively in one debate, its not going to get any better in multiples. I'm personally sick of these Americanisations of our processes. Enough is enough.

Oh, one more point, its not for broadcasters to define how many debates there will be and who should attend them
