Well Margaret Thatcher when asked to do a similar debate refused because she said it would turn politics into 'Entertainment'.I agreed with her then(probably the only time I ever did) and I think she is danger of being proved right now.
*Sorry for yet again invoking the Iron Lady but I suspect that she would have won such a debate and it was very generous of her not to participate.
