I think I've missed something

I watched the big debate on ITV the other night. There were the resident members of "Have we got a suprise in store for you" brigade, (polititians in other words).
Two of them stand a realistic chance of forming the next government, the other one is hoping that the" Brown" one, will win so he can grab his bit of power by shareing the limelight.
All of a sudden all the "experts" are saying what a wonderful job he did on TV, he came across far better than the other two. Does no one realise that he can afford to be relaxed and at ease. HE'S GOT NOTHING TO LOSE!
But on the basis of a rigged TV show where only eight chosen people were allowed to ask pre-chosen questions. His party shoot to the "top of the charts" on the promises he made knowing he will never have to keep them, apart from using them as a lever to grab his bit of fame from the Brown one. (He would not join the other side cause most of his party are almost on the Brown side of the fence anyway).
Get real people, come back to the REAL world. We will get screwed, no matter which of the other two win.
If we are going to have TV debates just let the public loose on them, no pre-knowledge questions that the spin doctors can work out the answers to, before it ever gets broadcast. Just normal. ordinary people off the street. Then lets see who can really perform.
