We have all seen politicians avoid answering difficult questions, they all do it, they would do it in any TV debate too.

The other point I tried to make is quite simple. In America, the focus is on an individual, the one who will be the next president, but in the UK we are electing hundreds of individuals, therefore it is of little relevance how a group of 7 or whatever perform on a TV debate as it doesn't reflect the breadth and depth of the election. It is nothing more than a broadcaster fuelled event that tries to influence the electoral process in a disproportionate fashion.
No....... Think I am gonna side with Joey on this one, PMQ's have mutated into a shockingly uninforming carnival. Never a straight answer if an answer at all, all theatre and mock melodrama, PMQ's is exciting to watch but not if you are expecting a serious political discussion.

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.
