Just a thought: isn't this 'TV debate' format simply a PMQ on steroids? Neither man will be short on briefings about the other - and they 'train' every Tuesday!

Large parts of the North of England are under water. It would be impossible to conduct a proper poll in those areas if the election was happening now. What happens if there's flooding on election day ?

I am in the North of England, and I am not underwater.
I suppose there can be weather related events on any election dates....I might go and check

The candidates that Farage decided to stand down don't seem to be very happy. Seems like each applicant had to pay £1000 to Brexit Ltd as part of the selection process, and that money is not being returned.

Wow, that's a clever money spinner. 300K to NOT use 300 of them.
They say weather and other winter distractions are one of the main reasons that elections are held in spring or early summer. Or early autumn. But never winter. Wonder what the turn out will be.
Wish someone could/would mobilise 99% of the 18 - 25 year olds. They'd 80% vote for Labour or Green, I bet. Would be awesome! G

Nigel owns 60% of Brexit Party limited, it’s a company not a formal political party I guess?
So 180k in Nigels pocket? I guess it will be refunded in due course. Meanwhile earning interest.
Careful now G, don’t presume a demographic. Dangerous thing to do.

TMW, I was putting my money where my mouth was - I was betting (value ££ unspecified) not presuming!

Farage has said he won't refund them. May change his mind but we'll see.
