UK election TV debate to target undecided voters

The two leaders will answer questions submitted by viewers in front of a live audience of 200 people at the ITV studios in Manchester.

The Liberal Democrats leader Jo Swinson will not be taking part despite mounting a legal challenge to change the decision by ITV. Ahead of the debate in Blackpool, voters are wondering if the TV debate will make any difference to their lives. ‘The Mitre’ is just a stones throw away from the resort’s famous golden mile strip. The pub’s regulars have strong opinions about the future direction of the UK.‘’I voted to join because I thought the EEC [European Economic Community] was a good idea but now it is being turned into a federal state which is not a good idea. We’ve lost control of our country.’’

Another customer called Tertia arrived late to the debate around Brexit. ‘’I’ve always been conditioned to vote Labour, the working man and all the rest but I don’t believe that Corbyn can deliver.’’ she said.
