Debate is Free: Election 2010

On Thursday night Debate is Free: Election 2010 took place at the Kelvin building at the University of Glasgow. All very exciting but now we fancy a bit of feedback on what you though of all the panellists and what was said on the night. To hear the podcast head here Once you are done post up your comments on what was said here or by email to debate@subcity.org

The questions were chosen by the audience, with the debate focusing on issues such as public faith in politics, immigration, higher education financing, and lowering the voter age.

Highlights include:

"The current government seems happy with a UK Border Agency which is endemically racist" - Patrick Harvie

"Surely the fact that at 16 years of age you are liable for taxation is the single most important point? You should not be taxed if you are not allowed to vote" - Tommy Sheridan

"One of the great scandals this year was that 141,118 people had the grades to go to university, and applied, and the places weren't there" - Ruth Davidson
