I put my name down to be in the audience during Jeremy Paxman’s questioning of Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May on Monday night because I wanted to ask either or both of them a question. I was, for the first time, an undecided voter so I hoped it would help me to make up my mind about who I should vote for. I have always voted, but this time around I had actually considered not voting at all, because I have found this general election rather tedious.

In the end, I wasn’t one of the people chosen to ask a question, but I was still just happy to see how Corbyn and May responded.

I felt that Corbyn had been asked much tougher questions from the audience than May and I thought he responded very well, in particular the question about him being a terrorist sympathiser decades ago. I actually began to warm to him. Before this debate I wasn’t convinced.

May had an easier ride throughout and seemed to drag out the replies to the audience questions. She seemed unable to answer a simple yes or no to anything she was asked.

To sit there and hear her sidestep when questioned over the blatant lies regarding the supposed £350m for the NHS after Brexit smacked of arrogance. She claims to represent and respect the will of the people, yet she wouldn’t honour the £350m pledge that had influenced the small majority to vote to leave the EU. May then went on to say that her government had put a lot of money into the NHS. Where that money is nobody knows, because the doctors and nurses certainly don’t seem to have seen an improvement.

At that point I had had enough. Out of frustration I uttered “Bollocks, that’s just bollocks” quietly. I think the fact that the clip has taken off on social media shows how frustrated people are in general at the lack of straight answers. Politicians need to realise that we’re not stupid, and will call something “bollocks” if we think it is.

At the end of the debate I felt quite deflated and disappointed. I found the proceedings were at times rushed and, in particular, Paxman took up too much of the focus. Barely 20 minutes for audience participation for each of them, which in my view should have been longer, and Paxman should have had less emphasis. This was after all why we were invited and many of us took time out on a bank holiday Monday to be there. Giving up a day for this sideshow was a bit of a let-down for me.

Two weeks ago, I was undecided on which party I would vote for, and indeed the same when I arrived for the debate last night, but now I know who will get my vote.

Sorry Theresa, it isn’t you!

Corbyn deserves a chance. I believe he is the man who can govern this country and hopefully steer us through Brexit and get us a good deal from the EU. Unlike May, who believes that “no deal is better than a bad deal”. I don’t believe that and so my mind is finally made up.
