Antlion Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Harvie the absolute star of the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 He might even get my constituency vote, seeing as he's standing here. Scottish Parliament really needs more of his ilk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow-sheep Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 6 on a panel is too many. This. Lose the English toff and Rennie and there was potential for a reasonable debate. Actually could have lost Marra too and nobody would have noticed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Is Marra considered a rising star for labour? If that's the best they have to offer, their problems are beyond terminal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 One hour of programming and we get precisely 8 minutes of discussion of a devolved matter for which the SNP Scottish Government has had responsibility running for 9 years. 50 minutes wasted rearguing the 2014 referendum and independence and the private remarks of a person who can't even vote in the referendum to which those remarks relate. With that kind of scrutiny, we get the government we deserve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob72 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Didn't make great viewing that tonight, surprised as anyone else on the 'mix' of the audience. Promise myself every week that I won't sit through it, yet sat here again thinking that was another f*ckin waste of an hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope coming leaders debates barely mentions it but not holding my breath 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that kind of scrutiny, we get the government we deserve. TBF QT has long since gone from being a serious political programme. Dimbleby really needs put out to grass. Which is a shame because to many it is still perceived as one. Its basically Talksport on TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I dont know if anyone has applied to be on QT before but you get asked about political affiliations and you also get asked for 3 topics you would want to bring up. So, if the bulk of the programme is about a referendum then it is because of an editorial decision that it should be so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 2 Labour candidates did, what are the chances..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Just a hunch, but perhaps in such a strongly pro-independence city it's difficult to find ordinary people who are pro-union and politically engaged enough to want to apply. That's also why the number of rejections is skewed towards those in favour of independence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I think folk are going a bit OTT with the Dundee thing. Plenty yoons in NE fife, Angus and Perthshire would have applied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
