The first live TV debate of the EU referendum last night was not a perfect evening for British PM David Cameron as he defended his campaign from some bitter questions by a hostile audience. Cameron had refused to appear opposite fellow Conservatives who back the Leave campaign but appearing alone on TV did not help him either.
The audience of the show proved to be more than enough opposition. Financial Times talked about the audience in its report, saying that “their hostility was the defining feature of the Sky News debate, the first of 11 televised encounters ahead of the EU referendum on 23 June.” PM Cameron was hurled with questioning on immigration and refused to say when he would meet his election pledge to bring it down to 100,000 per year. He replied that “there are good ways of controlling migration and there are bad ways,” adding that “it would be madness to try to do that by trashing our economy and pulling out of the single market.”
In response to Cameron’s reply, one of the audience member accused him of dodging the question and alleged that “I’m an English literature student” so “I know waffling when I see it.” Upon inquiry about “what comes first? World War Three or the global Brexit recession?” Cameron replied that was “genuinely worried” about leaving the single market. A report by Guardian claimed that PM “was lucid, he had stats and facts,” adding “but through it all, he was the fugitive, hassled, harassed and cornered.”
