Pity no live questions were allowed , it would have been interesting if any of the three could have answered the question during the energy supplies bit ..."how much was the last gas/electric bill you recieved for your home ? or how many and what colour are the bins/boxes/sacks you put out every bin day ?

Live questions?
You're having a laugh.
Live applause might be a start.
'The rules are that an audience member asks a preselected question. Each of the leaders replies in turn for a minute, without interruption. Each then responds in turn to the others' answers for one minute, again without interruption. There can then, "on merit", be "up to four minutes" of "free debate", the only part of the proceedings which actually appears to involve the leaders talking to each other.'
'No applause or heckling will be allowed – and critically, there seems little or no provision for follow-up questions, either by the audience or the moderator.'
