We’re in the final stages of the general election as the last minute right wing attacks push for votes gathers pace, but as the polling stations are about to open, there’s still time for those undecided voters to have their allegiance swayed.
Granted, if you’re a staunch Tory, Labour, Lib Dem, Green, Ukip etc supporter then you’re unlikely to be changing your vote, but in these final hours, it’s vital that every party articulates their rhetoric and manifesto to the best of their ability.
On this evening’s Sky News broadcast, Kay Burley chaired a discussion between Laura Perrins, co-editor of The Conservative Woman, and Rachel Shabi, political journalist for The Guardian and Labour supporter.

As the previous tweet mentions, during an engrossing and informative debate, there was one moment when the Sky News producers must have been worried because it appeared that the discussion was going to run over the allotted time.
Given the heated nature of the debate, it was apparent that both of these women could have happily spent another hour discussing the relevant issues.
Well, rather than crash into their discussion or tell them to quickly wrap up, Burley did what came naturally to her.
Truth be told, very few broadcasters could get away with this but it made for great TV.
