Sky: Don't Try And Outfox

There should not be televised debates between the Party Leaders in the run-up to the General Election. We shall be electing a Parliament, not a President. In this as in every other way, Sky must not try and become Fox.

Well the British system has become more Presidential over the years there is a certain logic to it. We may now expect all the Murdoch papers to back Sky.
Yet there is nothing new in Opposition Leaders calling for a debate and nothing new in the call being rejected by whoever is in Downing Street.
Indeed the routine call and rejection is a part of the Constitution......almost.

Yet in the call for a return to Parliamentary Democracy, it is probably a good thing (we have incidently had these debates for years in Norn Iron)as it strengthens the Party System and weeds out Esther rantzen from our screens.

The party system over here here is already more than strong enough, in marked contrast to the parties themselves, which are practically memberless and overwhelmingly elderly.
