That's pretty much what we were saying here.
 
I am a Tory voter, but will admit Corbyn spoke well and answered more coherently than May. He always does. Some of the questions asked of him were also not at all relevant (IRA).

However, May did seem to get more of a gilling and it did, to me, seem to be a slightly left audience again.
 
I really don't get the IRA thing and think he rebuffed it well. The ridiculous idea of 'don't talk to your enemies just nuke them'... eh.
 
You really voting Tory, H4rm0ny? (as per the poll)

About 70% certainty. I'll have to do it with a pained expression on my face, though. Economically and most issues, I side with the Tories. But like many who are domestically and economically on the Right, I am frustrated by the warmongering and puritanism of the Right wing parties. I keep having moments where I wonder if I should vote Labour because although I disagree with them on so much - especially the hatred of success that they dress up in a friendly clown outfit and try to pass off as "equality" - some things matter more to me than economics. Not bombing people, not tearing living animals apart for fun, not legislating on sexuality or monitoring everything I do.. These are a few of my least favourite things.

So yes, I am currently likely to vote Tory because on so many wide-reaching issues, I have a fundamental disagreement with Labour. Including their Ponies For All manifesto. But it doesn't mean I like the Conservative party. And if you ask why I don't abstain, I feel I have a moral duty to vote.

The Libertarians have the following slogan: "Keeping the Democrats out of your wallet; and the Republicans out of your bedroom". That's the dilemma so many of us find ourselves in. Just because you're Right Wing, doesn't mean we're ****** up bigots." Who represents us? :(
 
It's interesting that May seemed to have to answer more questions around Brexit and Corbyn more around his feelings around terrorists and the likes.

Would suggest to me that the audience are expecting the Tories to be doing the negotiating, and plenty of people still have concerns about Corbyn's character.

Either way, it was an interesting 90 minutes and always good to see these people get grilled but I haven't heard anything new.

the liberal democrats to some extent (certainly they would have done as the liberal party, perhaps not so much now with the social democrat side). The Orange book types would seem to be along those lines though.
