LabourList readers want Miliband-Cameron-Clegg debates in 2015

LabourList readers think that any televised leaders’ debates in the run up to next year’s election should be between Ed Miliband, David Cameron and Nick Clegg. In our weekly survey, readers showed support for following the same set up as the previous debates from the 2010 election, with a widespread belief that UKIP’s current polling does not warrant Nigel Farage’s inclusion.

Some felt that the debates should be exclusively between the two ‘candidates for Prime Minister’, Cameron and Miliband, who both scored identical scores of a little over 80%. Next was Clegg, who also scored a majority of votes with 60%, more than double that of Farage. 15% thought that there should be no debates at all. Here are the full results:

Meanwhile, we also asked who people felt had won in the Clegg v Farage debates on Britain’s membership of the EU. 33% plumped for Farage, while the obvious winner was apathy – 45% had not watched. Of those that did, a meagre 6.61% thought Nick Clegg had come out on top.

Keep an eye out for more results from the survey tomorrow, when we reveal what kind of railways and higher education funding Labour supporters want…
