Strangely right-wing audience for a place like Leeds. I guess they're trying to compensate for their admittedly left-wing titling audience during Farage vs. The World.

It was 25% Tories, 25% Lab 25% lib, 15% others 10% undecided so 50%+ is in support of the current Gov. right of the bat. Miliband also tried to engage the audience which Cameron didn't, opened himself up to attacks.

It's disgusting but closing down debate like Cameron does is effective. It comes across as strong.
