Theresa may no to tv debate

No I doubt he could but she has nothing much to gain by it either given her poll lead -The Torys are still wary after Camerons 2010 debate.

I see the point not going in with 5 or 6 of them, they'd all be having a swing at her but 1 on1 corbyn is a no brainier

We have had enough of politicians talking. The most important and overriding issue facing the government for the next 10 years is Brexit and the tories are the only possible option to take this through.
And they are certainly not ideal.

But every other factor is miniscule in relation to Brexit.

What's the point of a TV debate?

If I choose a builder.
I want to know how well he can build not how good he is at arguing.

Same with politicians, it's good policies we need not good personalities.

The problem being I d not think she can think on her feet without her minders and the strong and stable garbage

It is lovely to be a secretive and inward looking country, do not look outward it is too much trouble to ward off their influence.

Thersa May would certainly come out on top in a debate with Corbyn as she does every week in PM's questions.
But what would that do to her image?
Would she come over as overbearing, domineering. She could easily win the debate but come second in the eyes of the public.

I know that's a little too deep for the average Labour voter, but politicians certainly have to look further than the ends of their noses.

What government positions or shadow cabinet  positions did Corbyn hold before he became Labour leader? None whatsoever.

That tells us all we need to know about Corbyn.

Until he became leader of the Labour Party by winning twice

''The cowards way''

Absolutely,  we want people to run the country who can think, not building site or factory fodder material.

What did we get out of the last TV debates ? Hot air,plenty of cliches and the wimmin hugging each other ? Before that we had Clegg coming across well against the established parties, Brown struggled a bit unfairly because of his style.May has everything to lose and very little to gain by appearing in a TV spectacular,next they will be calling for all our politicians to appear on I'm a Celebrity.... A load of shyte and you have all fallen for this lately.

Isn't that just media play etc. Agree that Abbott's had a mare but very little was mentioned of May's wish to ban tourism


I actually think Corbyn's been far more impressive than I'd have thought possible so far in the campaign. The contrast between him going out, connecting with real people, facing questions and giving straight answers couldn't be starker with May's horrendously stage managed, scripted, crowd controlled appearances where she bricks it if she sees a pen.

But you never hear about her being incompetent. She somehow has become Magggie v2. And that's somehow seen as a good thing btw! Suddenly it's all about her, not the Conservatives. Understandable when you're trying to pinch UKIP and Labour voters while also trying to keep the likes of Johnson, Fox, IDS and Jacob Plumby-Plums as far away from attention as possible. But the thing is she was a terrible home secretary. A rotten one. And she's done nothing as Premier to suggest she's any good at that either. She has zero charisma, is clearly terrified of having to think and give a straight answer that isn't choreographed, has looked to block the courts, the House of Lords and Parliament from having any meaningful say in the negotiations at various times and has effectively seemed to narrow our options down even before we've began.

So no. The idea that Corbyn is incompetent while May is "safe and stable" is a lazy stereotype perpetuated by a half arsed media who have their reasons for keeping their mates in Downing St.

Along with the vast majority of the electorate.

anxious
Why would she come out on top with a debate with Jeremy if it came down to policy he would wipe the floor with her, without her minders and the biased right wing press to help her she would be found out, it really is staggering how many people actually think this woman is any good at all

What policies anxious?
The ones costing about £50 Billion that are covered by an expected increase in Corporation Tax of about £16 Billion.
Will be £16 Billion as long as no company moves it HO to Dublin or America or any of the other countries with a lower CT.
These are policies that will bamkrupt the UK.
La La Land right enough.

You forgot to add most of the Labour MP's who have witnessed his incompetence at first hand.

may and corbyn will be on question time together with dimbo

that should sufice

Sensible move by May.  She has little to gain by taking part in debates.
Labour are gifting her an election victory, no need to take any chances.  Just sit back and let Jezza and Abbott do the job for her.
