Is it just Monkey or are the election debates descending into farce?
Following the kerfuffle about allegations that BBC director general Tony Hall had leaked proposals, the Radio Times has revealed there was a “fractious” meeting of the broadcasters and political parties on Friday. (And the next one is likely to be even more ill-tempered given the detailed leak from this one.)
During the meeting Ukip suggested viewers could press the red button on their remote controls if they wanted to opt out of watching minority parties speak during the debates. Surely that will confuse the audience?
Would it not be better to press the red button to silence Ed Miliband, the blue one to opt out of David Cameron and the yellow to avoid Nick Clegg?
Which button would they choose to silence Ukip though Monkey wonders?
