In a television contest on March 29, three British leaders (Alistair Darling, George Osborne, and Vince Cable) debated over what they would do to solve the British financial crisis. The debate looks more like a TV game show, but maybe this is a good new way to campaign before their upcoming election?

This would at least be extremely entertaining for people to watch. If this was a show for the United States on what they should do about the financial crises I would definitely watch it.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with Minkoff on this one, it would be very entertaining to watch as it already seems that no ones knows what to do. I think that it would just turn into a heated political debate and eventually stray away from economics as is the problem a lot of the time.
ReplyDeleteIn the past Britain has had a really hard time encouraging political engagement. I agree with Ben and Jared here, this seems to be a sound way of encouraging political engagement. I suppose the proof will have to be in the pudding.
