Election Fever Once Again!
2010 General Election
Yes folks we are here again but with a few changes.
The General Election 2010 will be making full use of the amazing power of the Internet to name but one and of course there will now be three live televised debates featuring the three biggest parties.
By releasing the details of these upcoming debates, the media has already “advised” the good free thinking people of the United Kingdom that there are only three parties worth voting for, namely David Cameron being the front runner for the Conservative Party, Gordon Brown for the Labour Party and finally, Nick Clegg for the Liberal Democrats.
Even the order and content of the debates is shockingly biased although supposedly the broadcasters drew lots. Nick Clegg appears in the first of the 90 minute debates on ITV on Thursday April 15 which will be hosted by Alastair Stewart with the main topic based on domestic affairs. The following Thursday on April 22 Gordon Brown’s debate will appear on Sky and this will deal with international affairs. Presented by Adam Boulton this session will take place in the South West of England. David Cameron will appear on the BBC on Thursday April 29 and this will be hosted by David Dimbleby. This final debate will be themed on economic affairs and be held somewhere in the Midlands.
Why bother with the General Election on 6 May at all – the media has already voted David Cameron the next Prime Minister so is there really any point in going to the polls at all? All parties have a right to be heard so where are the live televised debates for the Scottish National Party, the Greens, UKIP and the nationalists? Their exclusion is nothing to with politics but all to do with television ratings and the British public deserve better.
Speaks for Itself!
This 2010 General Election will be the first to be televised and it will be in front of an audience of millions.
Watch the debates, go to the polling stations on 6 May and show the broadcasters you have a free will and a mind of your own and will not be swayed by media attention.

Well, I for one, will not be watching any televised debates.
The 'debates' should be the same topics across the board, not 3 separate choices picked out of a hat! We should be entitled to hear all parties viewpoints on the same topics. I find it ironic that Cameron gets the paid-for-by-the-nation BBC slot with 'Economic Affairs' the choice subject! Considering the Recession, I would think this would be one most of us will be interested in hearing about – from ALL sides!
Sweeping generalisations, aside, like you said, Moira, I believe our decision has been made for us. As a non-viewer of TV, I have still managed to see the subtle-yet-in-your-face propaganda going on everywhere in the media and it sickens me. This country needs to wake up and smell the coffee. We will always be led in our votes, whether directly or indirectly and this so-called 'debate' nonsense is no exception.
