People who have nothing to lose can appear on as many of these shows as they like. People with everything to lose are better advised not to.
Ask Andy?
I do take the point.Ask Andy?
But he does himself no favours by acting like a coward who is afraid to face questions.
There's something very strange when people think it's acceptable for any "leader" to behave that way.

Indeed. He will be called a coward until next Friday and then he will have got away with it. It is disgraceful. This election is about forming the government of the country - BJ is treating it like a parish council election, only speaking to friendly blokes in the pub.But he does himself no favours by acting like a coward who is afraid to be face questions.

If there was an alternative that wouldn't destroy the UK economy and basic social structure, he wouldn't be able to.The fact that he can is down to the unelectable opposition.
You need a credible alternative to create sensible politics, we dont have one. For that reason i hope the Labour party are smashed to pieces in this election and they either throw out the marxists or split and form an alternative that becomes a credible choice at the next election.

If he feels that he can't articulate his position in a TV interview without risking looking like an idiot, how on earth is he going to fare against other world leaders? How is he going to negotiate with the EU?No-one is going to take him seriously
What a farce.

And yet they took him seriously enough to do what they said was impossible and reopened the WA. No-one is going to take him seriously
What a farce.

hing about Boris not doing it is just sour grapes. It's nothing to do with acceptable behaviour, It's a good tactical move as he as absolutely nothing to gain. Your outage is driven by Corbyn's dire performance. If Corbyn had done a stellar job then you wouldn't be bothered if Boris did it or not.
Personally I think presiding over anti-semitism, and celebrating terrorists is no way for a leader to behave.

No mainstream party leader in a GE for decades has refused an interview. The comments on Johnson's cowardice have nothing to do with the appalling anti-semitic tosspot Corbyn.
Yes precedent may be important in your line of work but it has no bearing on how to win an election.jsf said:

The greatest trick the Tories ever pulled, was convincing the electorate that they haven't been in power for the past ten years and are therefore directly responsible for the mess we find ourselves in today.
The greatest failure in modern politics is that the current Opposition have been incapable of holding them to account.

Genuine question - have these sort of interviews been a key thing for more than the last two elections?I recall the absolute car crash that May did last time out...but don't really recall much even in the 2015 election. Was that the first year the stand up "debates" happened/were televised?

It is not a tactical move, BJ is avoiding scrutiny, because he knows it will hurt him. He has sat back and laughed as all the other leaders were hurt, and now knows he’s got away with it. To lie to the national broadcaster is simply not on.hing about Boris not doing it is just sour grapes.

Team Boris are playing it close and not taking any chances. I believe Boris has ducked two already?
I suppose that once in the chair you don’t know which Boris will turn up. If I were advising, he should have done one early on and it would be old news now.
Wonder if he will do the same in world trade agreements and dealing with truculent world leaders?

Look! A squirrel!
ClassicWith Corbyn running scared of appearances after brillo took a shine to him, and whether or not Boris ever turns up, would anyone with Boris's / the Conservatives' interests in mind suggest Boris camps outside the studio banging on the door to be let in? The obvious point here will be obvious to Tufty - only his detractors would think it's a good idea with little risk, and crow repeatedly on the subject while common sense prevails. Which point explains the usual suspects queuing up for an ad hom metoofest with no rational argument in sight ^. Solid!
