I will never agree with his politics but I still like him and would have loved to have been able to chat with him on that issue and challenge him on it too.

The sad thing was, Chloe just was impressed with it,never analysing it,just swallowing it all as sadly,(as I said before), too many voters did too.

Very true. Before they went into coalition, the Tories would never have dreamt of raising the point at which people start paying tax, yet five years later they've claimed it as their own and there is barely a Liberal Democrat left in Parliament.

However, when you see how little political awareness there is in the BB house (and I mean basic things like knowing who the Prime Minisiter is) this year and in previous series, it's not surprising that the youth vote is so diminished. I guess we should give Joel some small credit for being vaguely alert, even if his 'facts' are flawed...or maybe not!
