B-ELECTION 2010 (The Young Black Vote): LIVE TELEVISION DEBATE


So tonight is the night... the first political Live Television debate. Well overdue in my opinion. If there is one thing that i agree on with David Cameron it's that this should have happened ages ago! He's right! America does it, France do it etc. So howcome the UK haven't followed fashion. Particularly as our political ideology is so "murky". We the general public generally cannot say for certain what each party stands for - we cannot determine what separates the Labours from the Conservatives.

Well tonight is the night where hopefully we shall receive some clear cut answers - although i doubt that very much. We're very good at PR in this country and being politically correct. Isn't it that they say it was really Alaistar Campbell who won the 1997 General Election for Labour?... well.... i'll leave that open for discussion.

These are the key topics I hope to see debated and raised in tonights live debate.

  • Immigration
  • Education - particularly University tuition fees
  • NHS - staff pay and quality of service
  • Tax - who should get taxed the most
  • The War in Afghanistan - whether we should pull out or not
  • The State Benefit System - too much leniency?

There are probably more I can think of but these are the key topics i hope are discussed. How do you think these 6 topics are related to the Young Black voter if at all? Let me know your thoughts on tonights debate.

  1. I am actually looking forward to this debate especially after hearing each party show their respective manifestos. I must say ive always been a labour supporter maybe even a blair-ite but recently they have been slipping although i dont trust david cameron as far as i throw him!
