In reply to tonanf:
Agree completely.
What were effectively multiple questions annoyed me a lot during the live debates during the December election. It gave the politician the chance to chose the easy question and ignore any that were more difficult to answer.
However, even when asked even one difficult question almost every politician will simply ignore and then make a statement that shows they or their party is so good.
I'd love to see interviewers give two chances to answer direct questions and if the politician dodges it the interview is ended.
