but pants is right, too many voices made for a diffuse and incoherent opposition going off

at tangents

Very difficult to see how you can combine an attack on views like his with the format of somethign like QT. Normal politicians, everyone knows what they basically stand for and so the fundamentals are a given; that means you don't need a lot of backstory to question them effectively about details of their policies. So the short soundbite stuff of QT, with quick cut and thrust, works well. With the BNP you're in a totally different game, trying to challenge the entire underlying philosophy of who they are and what they do. That's NOT really suited to soundbite television.
