The First Debate!

This title has a double meaning.

When it comes to the Leaders’ Debate, I must admit I did not watch it in its entirety.

Instead, I played Monopoly with the family. Normally I would have preferred to polish up the chess set, because at least I win that game (however narrowly) but when it comes to Monopoly I’m just absolutely hopeless. My opponents just get bored that I feel the need to explain to them how realistic or unrealistic the rules or their decisions are.

Still, whatever the outcome of the debates, I am sure Mr Cameron won. It would have been impossible for him to lose. I saw the first few minutes where they talked about immigration and was more then delighted that Mr Cameron suggested a cap, and then pull up the drawbridge.

However, next to the dubious ex-Prime Minister and the glorious Mr Cameron, I cannot help but notice another bizarre figure standing next to them. I just do not understand why ITV would let their work experience boy onto the camera during such an important broadcast. I suppose it must be something to do with Gordon Brown’s silly apprenticeship scheme or part of some nonsense “fairness” agenda.

On the subject of debates though, I’ll be on the BBC’s Politics show very soon! I hope you tune in to hear my eloquent articulations.
