I personally feel those who didn't watch it, won, truly awful format, the U.S does so much better at this.

Perhaps that poll should be seen as Boris vs "not Boris" one. IE "Not Boris" includes Lib Dems, Greens, SNP etc. They would vote "not Boris" even if that meant voting for Stalin.

That's a political choice. On one side of the divide are people like you who want to roll back the state and privatise everything with the profits taken to other countries.

On the other side is people like me who say taxation.

You live in your own little world, jfman. Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see....(with apologies...)

The poll was not about voting intentions, it was about who won the debate.

They've probably been getting top tips from their Russian friends.

Precisely. Those that are planning to vote Lib Dem, Green, SNP etc, will have supported whoever wasn't Boris. When the election comes around they might vote for the individual parties, thereby dropping Corbyn's 49% support in that poll. Let's face it, there are many in the "not Boris" group who would have said that Corbyn "won" the debate simply because he's "not Boris". It's not really an impartial assessment.

Just realised it can't be the same one I went to, as it shut down in the early 80s, when a new bigger one opened in 82 in the Europa Centre.

Spot on. Both stand to flush the country's economy down the plughole with their magic moneytree policies.
