Quentin Taranbino Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 So this looks to be the last big live debate on TV before the referendum, which takes place next week in Edinburgh STV have announced they are to stage a second Scottish independence referendum debate in Edinburgh on 2 September. The debate will feature three-person panels representing the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ campaigns, who will discuss some of the key issues in the campaign in front of an audience of around 350 people at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh. Nothing official on who will make up the panels on either side although the Yes panel is rumoured to be Nicola Sturgeon, Humza Yousaf and Elaine C Smith??

Mr Bairn Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I prefer three person panels to one-on-ones, mostly because both campaigns are broad rainbow coalitions. I'd prefer to see one SNP (Sturgeon or Yousaf), one from the Greens/Socialists (Patrick Harvie maybe) and a non-party political person (Elaine C Smith) On the No side I'd have one from Westminster (Jim Murphy for me), one from Holyrood (Ruth Davidson) and I'd love to try and get JK Rowling as the non-party political person.

Ross. Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Partly surprised that Yes have agreed to it given the apparent disaster that the 2nd one was for Better Together, but if the panel you have there is correct it makes perfect sense if they are wanting to target the undecided women voters.

Thumper Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Nothing official on who will make up the panels on either side although the Yes panel is rumoured to be Nicola Sturgeon, Humza Yousaf and Elaine C Smith?? That would be quite wonderful. I wonder which of No's many public-school-accented white men it would cobble up to tackle that. Frankly, if Elaine C Smith turned up with a Yes rosette on STV my mum would probably end up voting, which I don't think she's done in twenty years.

Casual Bystander Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Who is he? He was the last guy that heckled the Yes panellists in the last (small) debate. With all the stooshie about biased audiences and the questions in the (big) BBC debate the other day this lad has quite the back story, with some complaining he was allowed 5 minutes of angry and biased rebuttal. It is a WoS link, so you'll need to take some of it with the usual WoS gloss over it, but it's fairly evenly reported here: http://wingsoverscotland.com/dead-ringers/#more-60627 Edit: I refer the the small debate and big debates as being separate things, the big debate being the Salmond/Eyebrows showdown.

jagtastic Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 They'd be as well holding this in a pub car park. Every head to head seems to end up "shouty" (according to the perceived losers at least) so 3 v 3 will just be a fucking rammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Also heckled a young girl who works in a foodbank,a lovely chap. Yep, a Dr, a university lecturer and a thoroughly classless individual. Shouting down an MSP, you can just about go with. Shouting down a fellow audience member, who was clearly uncomfortable is not on. Apparently, even though he was in the audience as a DK, he runs a Twitter account called Edinburghsaysnaw or some such shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanky_ffc Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 STV had an article up yesterday confirming the lineup as: Yes: Nicola Sturgeon, Patrick Harvie and Elaine C Smith. No: Douglas Alexander, Ruth Davidson and Kezia Dugdale. Don't know about anyone else, but for me, the burning question that needs answered this time is, 'what about the post office?'.
