Why would anyone honestly vote for Theresa May when she can't even be arsed to turn up for an important debate when all the other parties leaders are there. She is a joke!

Perhaps, though Robertson is a very accomplished speaker - he is often the person with the best lines at PMQs - and don't forget the SNP do not field candidates outside of Scotland.

It's irrelevant how good a speaker he is. Amber Rudd has done a better job then May would of done here but May still should if either participated or the Conservatives not taken part at all. The same apply for the SNP as far as I'm concerned, the leader should be there or nobody.

I utterly loathe the 26% corporation tax. It's crass, ideology driven, economic illiteracy.

I work in tax, can honestly say businesses are quite terrified. Well those who think labour might win.

I support low taxes. It's our money, not the government's. High business tax = fewer jobs.

Exactly where are these companies gonna leave for? 26 percent tax is still low in comparison

The audience is a bit of a farce tbh. Can't the BBC even attempt to be impartial or what's the point in even bothering with these debates at all? I hate silly partisan audiences at debates like this, you either do it properly and fairly or they shouldn't do them at all. It's got nothing to do with how you feel about any party, the debate becomes just as much about how the audience reacts as what's being said. Well done BBC, yet again you've taken what should of been a serious and interesting debate and turned it into a joke.

So do I, but its absurd to have low taxes and then have the same firms demand to be able to import workers because there aren't people with sufficient skills here.
