chloe smith on newsnight last night

actually, how about just ending the interview if they don't answer properly? Politicians go on the to defend their points and to advertise. If they don't answer the actual questions then the interviewer should just stop and go on to the next article...

I assume politicians would get the hint pretty quickly.

Good in principle, but you send a reporter and tv crew to interview someone using up their day and needing to produce something for the evening news, and what are they supposed to do?

It would be nice not to hear the same old tripe though.
 
LOLChloeSmith...that was brilliant seeing Paxo make her squirm like a weasel...when was this decision made??....as i said i was involved with the decision making...ok lets try this again, when was this decision made??....as i said i was involved blah blah blah and ad infinitum.

I totally agree with Amp34, if a politician isnt willing to answer a simple question then end the interview but sadly its not as easy as that as piggeh just mentioned above

TBH I forgot the smilie face at the end but I think people would come to terms pretty quickly. Obviously if it was a news situation the newsreader would just need to point out they wouldn't answer the question then get on to lighter news, or get someone else to talk to.:p

He was rude and he did bully her over pointless questions which were not relevant to the debate, the only thing that differentiates him from the slimy politicians is he has no accountability to the tax payers who pay his wages.

Explain to me why the **** she can't just answer the question instead of acting like a flipping retard.

Since when were the Lib Dems left? They are a central party... Although ot depends which part of the lib Dems you think about which is why conservatives usually think they are more right and labour supporters think they are more left...

*shrug*

If you introduce a third category of "centre", then the OcUK results are even more skewed towards the right (or more precisely, away from the left).
