Weekly Survey: TV debates, Shadow Cabinet rankings, and an SNP coalition

have your say ll (long)

David Cameron seems to be trying his hardest to avoid taking part in any leaders’ debates before the election. His latest wheeze is to demand a place for the Green Party before he agrees to join in – a demand quickly met with a new debate proposal. Funnily enough, he still hasn’t responded to that.

Which leaders do you think should take part in the debates? Should they happen at all?

We like to keep a tab on how people think the Shadow Cabinet are performing. This time, we’re asking readers to rate each member on a scale of 1-5, with 1 being the lowest rating and 5 being the highest.

So let us know how the Shadow Cabinet are doing.

Ed Miliband has so far refused to rule out a coalition with the Scottish National Party, but maintains he is still aiming for a Labour majority in May. Some MPs would like the Labour leader to take the step of confirming it won’t happen, concerned that would-be Labour voters will see SNP as a legitimate anti-Tory alternative.

Should Ed Miliband say there will be no Labour/SNP pact after the election?

Our weekly survey closes at noon on Thursday. You can vote here.
