In the light of the recent debates about tv debates, including the debate about who will debate and who won’t debate we offer our own debate on the debate about debates.
Our debatees are:
Irma Grant: a member for the Stout Yeoman of Britain Party (SYBP)
Francis E. Ton-Mess: True Blue Old Money Party (TBOMP)
Hilary Racket: We Care, Honest Guv Party (WCHGP)
Eva Lissor-Lat: Do I get paid for this Party (DIGPFTP)
Ye Imp: First thank you all for coming. What I’d like to ask you first of all what are your thoughts on the validity of televised debates.
IG: well it’s a bit American for me, this whole concept of television. For me, and any true stout yeoman, a evening at home should be spent gathered around the pianola singing Jerusalem.
FTM: Irma this is the 21st century! What people want now is to have their Pianolas valued and undersold to overseas investors to be leased back to them.
HR: No no no Francis I can’t agree. The Honest hard working people of Britain want to see that their Pianolas remain untouched, not sold off…
IG: Yet in your own manifesto you have stated that pianola privatisation is a priority.
HR: no no no no Irma I can’t agree you are misrepresenting our manifesto, pianolas will be ring fenced but to increase the efficiency of pianolas we plan to introduce a series of Public, Private Initiatives (PPI’s).
FTM: Well that’s neither here nor there. It is woolly left wing thinking like that which has lead to the financial crises in the first place.
HR: no no no no I can’t agree…
FTM: to allow people to own their own pianolas and not lease them off a massive conglomerate is practically communism….
HR: no no no no I can’t agree…
ELL: we plan to build more…
HR: If you would let me finish, the Pianola problem is high on our party’s agenda, if we were to win power next time I can clearly state Pianola, Pianola, Pianola…
This debate continued well into the night right up until the expenses ran out.
