This is mighty interesting. On the subject of a One-on-One debate, PM Harper and Michael Ignatieff are going back and forth via Twitter.

Posted by Name Withheld By Request (aka BlueKopo) Mar 30 '11, 14:11

Background:

At a press thing today, the PM was asked about the Green Party being excluded from the debates. He said he would actually prefer to face Ignatieff one-on-one in a debate as they are the two men who can be PM.

By midday, Michael Ignatieff responded via Twitter, "Any where, any time."

A half-hour ago the PM came back: "Curiously, my team proposed 1:1 to the TV consortium today; however, your team did not speak up."

NWBR: That's escalation. Iggy's not going to back down and neither will the PM. We're going to get a One-on-One debate! That's fucking awesome. Cannot wait to watch. (And I have no idea how to handicap it either...)

Responses:

I think Elizabeth May should be allowed in to the debate. Its not like anyone outside of Quebec can vote for the BQ and they are in the English debate - Walt_ Disney Mar 30, 14:20 2
- I'm fundamentally opposed to her addition. Time's limited, I'd rather more of it went to those setting policy. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 30, 14:34
- I highly doubt many of your candidates will have time to answer your email... -- nm - Guigue Mar 30, 14:25
Isn't that already technically a one-on-one debate? -- nm - Reagen Mar 30, 14:12 2
- Heh. TV debate, but that's a joke I'm stealing for myself for Twitter. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 30, 14:13
- I was standing by... -- nm - Alanis Mar 30, 14:13
