Soz Cath, but that's not exactly what I'd call a good political platform.
Everyone else on the show and in the audience come with their own bias, so there isn't any (for instance) really awkward questions he has to answer..it's all pre-scripted, assurances made, talking head stuff.
This is the kind of thing you..probably..should be looking for..

Candidate, getting dragged over the coals and being forced away from his comfortable, scripted dialogue. (The Lib-Dems should have kept Kennedy as party leader imho..sure he had a habit of nipping down to OddBins for 20 Benny-Henny and half a dozen cans of lager...but who the hell doesn't?)
TBH I think Paxman is a bit of a smug twat, but he does manage to drive a wedge into their flanks time after time.
Sorry to bring up
our GW again, but you can see the value in reporters going for the heart in this interview..and how a savvy politician can roll with it,
and again how a good reporter can stick it to them.. (Even though I think Paxman was a bit of a twat again in this clip)
