The Leaders debate could have allowed time for serious sensible questions and answers and would allow both leaders to really defend their positions and manifestos.

Assuming of course the debate is held after the Manifestos have been published.
That is the real issue Nedusa, agree,, to be able to put under scrutiny and challenge the manifesto 'details' of each party.
Often the 'details' of policies open up a lot more questioning as to them.

This is really what David Cameron seems to be running away from,the only actual election debate he is taking part in, is the 7 way leaders one, with 7 leaders there.
As MTVN said, the time limits on each question and answers will be limited.
So he knows he can likely 'bluff' his way on that one more than the others, and he certainly would have far more detailed and in depth questioning in a head to head debate with Miliband only.

PMQs, is in no way holding this PM to account for anything,he uses it as a stage to do anything but answer relevant questions.
We hear more from him at PMQs about what Labour were doing 5 to 18 years ago in govt; than any answers to the questions now asked of him.

I've talked to several people yesterday and today and they say the only reason he has refused to do all the original debates is because he probably has something to hide, that he'd rather not be made known.
That is a pretty good summing up I would say.
