(not satire – it’s David Cameron!)
It’s looking more and more like David Cameron is chickening out of the head-to-head debate with Ed Miliband scheduled for 30th April.
Tory Party negotiators have missed two recent meetings about the debates with the broadcasters. And Cameron twice today failed to answer direct questions in the House of Commons about whether he will be taking part in the debate.
Channel 4 and Sky News however, have just released a statement saying they are even willing to change the date to any time suitable for Cameron:
“Sky News and Channel 4 are continuing to prepare for a head-to-head debate between the prime minister and the leader of the opposition on 30 April.
“However, in response to media inquiries following today’s PMQs, we would obviously be willing to host a debate on a different day the two main party leaders could agree on.”
So unfortunately for Cameron, looks like he’s not going to be able to wriggle out of it so easily.
The question is, what’s Cameron so afraid of?
.
Please feel free to comment. And share.

Devious Dave’s afraid of being caught out again – he never lived up to his election promises last time round.

Why not just have the debate and leave an empty chair where he should be? isn’t that the done thing? it would also show the voters just how much he actually cares about them.

Speaking as somebody who voted lib dem last time and is unlikely to do so again: are debates really that useful?
The last time round we kept on hearing ‘I agree with Nick’ the whole time – and look what damage the lib dems have managed to inflict on the public since then. They supported more surveillance through DRIPA. They helped put up tuition fees. And the less said about the bedroom tax the better.
They’ve shown that their manifesto is a work of fiction not worth the paper it’s printed on, and there’s no reason to expect any of the other parties to act any differently if the circumstances demand it. We just can’t trust them – and in that light I can’t see these debates serving any really useful purpose.

He will try everything under the sun to get out of this, and any other debates – we were told to judge him, by him himself. Keep a chair there and if he doesn’t turn up for the debate it will make him look as though he can’t be bothered. There can be a lot of questions for Milliband to answer from the public – which, after all, is who matters.
If Dave tries to send along someone other than himself then there should be a massive “NO” from the channels. He’s had the time and the date known to him and now it’s time to judge him.

bob chewing: Spam-faced idiot? ….Cameron is Chicken…. Miliband most closely resembles a cow chewing the cud… Cows are reponsible for trying to wreck the planet because their methane emissions account for 165% of global warming….. Cameron is afraid to debate global warming with Miliband becauise he knows cows are biased and fear that their cowsheds are bugged… We need this debate badly…. 🙂

Reblogged this on Beastrabban’s Weblog and commented:
This is plentiful proof of just how much Cameron is afraid of Miliband. As I said in my comment to Tom Pride’s last post, Miliband is an intellectual, from an intellectual family, and Cameron knows that he is massively outclassed.
And he also knows that his policies are colossal failures that are costing ordinary people billions, not to mention killing them. It’s why IDS’ DWP will not release the numbers of people, who have died since being assessed as fit and well by ATOS. It’s why the Tories have lied and besmirched the foodbanks and the churches and volunteers who help in them by ludicrously claiming that people aren’t going to them because they’re starving, but only ’cause they’re there.
He’s scared because the Tories have broken so many of their election promises that they’re actually erasing them from their websites in an Orwellian rewriting of history.
You could go on to talk about the way the Tories have wrecked the Health Service, the colossal assault on free education that constitutes their privatisation by the back door of our schools. And the welfare to work programme is so massively unpopular that Cameron won’t release the details of the firms taking part in case they’re boycotted and withdraw from the scheme. As has happened.
He’s scared because his chancellor doesn’t have any maths, and can’t tell a child what 7 times 8 is. Osbo’s got a good history degree, but his only paid job before this was folding towels in Harrods.
I like the idea of holding the debates anyway, as Jaynel in her comment has suggested, and leaving a chair for him, even if he doesn’t turn up. Instead of leaving it empty, I suggested they put a tub of lard in it, just as they did in Have I Got News For You all those years ago when Roy Hatterley didn’t turn up on the programme.

He’s terrified of the debate as he always has to work to a script written by Lynton Crosby. A debate is too random for him, someone might ask him a question that he hasn’t go a pre-prepared, smart answer for.
