Then all of the droning on after their time was up and talking over each other was annoying.
As for the idea that the debates are less accessible? I totally disagree, if anything they are more accessible and certainly more interactive, especially in the increasingly digital age.

I hope that you're sitting down because I totally agree. The leaders should debate every week. I don't need to see them touring cheese factories or whatever as photo-ops. The can announce policy during the day and debate in the evening; its not that hard.
If I was Trudeau I would show-up to every debate and if Mulcair and Harper fail to show for whatever reason its their loss. Go out, trounce May and people will take notice. Frankly if those other two are too stupid to realise it will give him an hour to tee off with no reply from them, that's their own problem.
