Well that cleared everything up didn't it…. OK maybe not. To start with it was the wrong format. The BBC claimed there was not enough time to pull a representative audience together. Weird as Channel 4, an organisation with less resources, managed to do it with even less time. It also needed to be longer and the candidates needed to show a little decorum or at least be put in their place more. I got the feeling they wouldn't have tried to talk over a male presenter as much, and that is not a dig at Emily Maitlis, who I felt did very well, it is a reflection of the candidates lack of respect for a female presenter trying to do her job. Makes you wonder how they would react when speaking with Angela Merkel, Jacinda Ardern, Erna Solberg or any of the many other female heads of state. Feels like an embarrassment for the UK just waiting to happen.
